i have filtering set up in Evolution and kmail and it works good.. its
all in what header you specify. If you dont like the `reply to address
setting, just add the list email to your address book with an easily
typeable name like vnc and just delete out the original poster's name,
unless of course you want it to go to both. there's always cc and bcc as
well..
Just a longtime troll and periodic poster's 02 cts
