As for the main part of the thread I enjoy the side issues, they are
not so a total waste of time. I personally have learned alot of
information that wasn't 'debian' specific.
As for filtering I use elm on my isp to read and filter my mail. With all
the debian going to a separate folder. This way I don't have to worry about
deleting an email by accident when purging debian mail.
Here are some of my filter rules and .forward that I use
~/.elm/filter-rules:
# debian rule
if (to contains "debian") then save "~/Mail/debian"
#last rule - safety rule
if (always) leave
~/.forward
"|/usr/local/bin/filter -o /dev/null"
