Hi Torfinn, yes, using a professional mail client, this can work.
One problem is server-side filtering when using IMAP. For example my email provider (one of the biggest in Germany) doesn't support filtering on arbitrary header fields such as the List-* headers, Another problem is for people, who only temporarily subscribe to the list, just to solve one single problem. For them it's more convenient, to look for the readable / visual "crutch" in the subject line than to setup a special subfolder + filter or even implement some magic. Finally the filtering on List-* headers doesn't work, when people use the "Answer All" function. In this case there are no List-* headers in the resulting message. -Ulf Am 12.09.19 um 23:38 schrieb Torfinn Ingolfsen: > Olaf pointed to the > List-* > headers.
