I agree it would be nice if they added a subject line tag, but I don't
expect it's going to happen. :-)
I use Procmail to do my mail filtering for me. The recipe I use is:
# Debian list processing
# Look for the list address here and put them in their own file
:0:
* ^TO_ .*@lists.debian.org
$MAILDIR/debian/
I do it that way because I'm subscribed to several list (announce,
security, etc.) and they all have that in common. I don't care if they
all get lumped into the same mail folder. :-)
