A very effective method of filtering is to look for the List-ID: header.
Most mail software won't display it to you without persuasion, but
for [EMAIL PROTECTED] it looks like this:
[...]
X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5
Precedence: list
List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org>
List-Unsubscribe:
<http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>,
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[...]
Mailing lists should nowadays include a List-ID: header in the mails
they
send out. [RFC 2919 if you're that interested] Sorting messages
based on
it is, I find, generally the most accurate way to classify them
correctly.
It's very easy to do in procmail -- too obvious to bother giving an
example. In thunderbird, you have go into Tools:Message Filters, then
hit New to create a new rule, then choose 'Customize' from the 'Subject'
pull-down. Unfortunately squirrelmail is not a software package I know
much about, but I'd expect any reasonably competent e-mail client to
be able to filter on arbitrary mail headers without too much trouble.
In gmail it's undocumented, but you can use listid
search operator to search and filter by List-ID.
This is untried as I only use squirrelmail when I am behind draconian
firewalls
that dont allow imap or ssh and usually use procmailfor filtering,
however in the
options menu, select filters then new, then choose to match a header
that contains
*List-Id:* User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org>
and move it to where you want it moved to. Like i say untested but
I cant see why it wont work.
