deny unwanted threads



Good time.

There are so many threads in this  list , and it is great of course , but some
of them are not interesting for me .
So , i'm just in writing some scripts for mailfilter and mutt to delete them on
pop3-server before downloading .And i have some questions:

1)first:maybe somebody has done this?
2)As i understand there is some limitations to this idea:
	a)in ideal ,mailfilter  must understand the rules with double conditions
	,e.g.:
	DENY=(^From bounce-debian-user.*)&&(^Subject.*unwanted thread) .
	But now it can't.
	b)second solution:list-server must put list-name in subject header, like
	mplayer-users list do:'Subject: [MPlayer-users] seeking in a video
	file'.I asked for this feature listmaster@lists.debian.org several times
	with no answer .
	c)last solution : while mailfilter don't support double rules and
	listmaster don't agree to change the 'subject' header in the mails -
	we are to use separate mail accounts for such lists and separate
	mailfilter's conf-files .
The question is : maybe i'm wrong somewhere ?(It is not pleasant to do the useless job.)

Oh,yes, mailfilter doesn't support national charsets , so this is working only
for subjects in latin-based languages. :(
