No need to. The header is there already. All GNU mailman lists have an "X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" header, as well as the ListId header. Both are equally good for filtering. I've never had any false positives or negatives using either header to filter on. Just make sure you're using one or the other, and your sorting should work always wether or not the [mess] is in the subject or not. Hope this helps. -- Mike A.
