My guess is that some client use primitive means like the subject, but maybe there's some more header information that's useful, like reference or in-reply-to. Again, I don't know much about headers. > Possible solution would be to maintain list of known mailinglist > addresses (say mailinglists.txt, just like we now have labels.txt) and > consider all mails targeted to a list address as list mail even if > they wouldn't have list headers. > > Any considerations on the implications that would have? So it would compare TO and CC with the list, and if it finds it, treats it as list mail. Well, I guess for some of the 'treat as list mail' things it might need some headers, but I really don't know. -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."
