I think, Windisch Gergely has another problem. The regexp only helps
when replying but i think the question was to strip the list name
before storing it into a folder. This problem can't be solved inside
TB!, but you can call an external program as part of a filter
action, which could do that. Perhaps there are already ready-to-run
programs that accomplish that? I know that some people use this
method to strip the X-Mailer header from their mails...

In the same past discussion, i posted the following to remove
'[Palm]' (obviously from a Palm related mailing list) from the
subject line:

You can replace '\[Palm\]' with '\{maillinglist\}'. The backslashes
are needed in both cases, because brackets and curly braces have
special meanings inside regexps.
