Re: How to Identify Mailing Lists



Hi,
I was parsing my last 4000 emails and these were some headers with the
word 'list':
      1 X-List-Processor
      1 X-sparklist-type
      2 X-List-Unsubscribe
      2 X-Mailinglist
      4 list-help
      4 list-post
      4 list-unsubscribe
      7 X-List-Administrivia
     15 Mailing-List
    581 List-Software
    582 List-Owner
   1504 List
   2803 List-Archive
   2970 X-Mailing-List
   3391 List-Id
   5777 List-Subscribe
   6356 List-Post
   6358 List-Help
   6436 List-Unsubscribe
