Re: OT mozilla filter to keep my debian mail list organized



What I ended up doing was just filtering based on contents. If an email has "debian-user-request@lists.debian.org" in it then it goes to my debian list folder under my main mailbox. This works fine, so far. Thanks for the help.

Haven't used Mozilla. But in KMail, I setup a filter based on TO, and it pretty much filters 99.99% of the mails, and puts them into a specific folder. You should setup your email program, to filter mails, which are addressed to the followings:

debian-user@lists.debian.org
debian-user-digest@lists.debian.org
debian-user-digest@list.debian.org
debian-user@virtual.doorstop.net

There are probably others. But these 4 are the most used ones.

Don't filter on To:/Cc: if you can possibly avoid it; it's unreliable.
Use X-Mailing-List: instead. (If your filtering program doesn't support
filtering on arbitrary headers, complain to its authors.)

Cheers,
