Mike, I didn't say a thing about filters. But since you brought it up--Not all email clients are capable of isolating an email header such as "List-Id". So "To:", "CC:", "Subject:", possibly others, used alone or in combination, remain a more practical solution for most.
For example in Outlook express I have a dozen or so filters: 1. mail sent "To:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets flagged and highlighted nothing more 2. mail from elecraft is IDed by "To:" and "Subject:" content, then sent to a folder (was "Subject:" only, that's how I noticed the change) ... Careful crafting of the rule, and proper positioning in the rule list makes everything happen just the way I want. -- 73, Rod N0RC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Elecraft Discussion List" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 7:37 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] email reflector headers glitch or "feature" > In general, To and From headers shouldn't be used to filter list traffic.
