Stripping "[gentoo-user]" from the topic will screw up any messages that you reply to, since the "threads" are assembled by grouping like topics together as far as I know. So it may be nicer to look at in your mail client, however it may screw up the usages of the listserve.

Change: :0: * ^List-Id:.*gentoo-user\.gentoo\.org .$YEARMONTH-Gentoo/ to: :0 * ^List-Id:.*gentoo-user\.gentoo\.org { :0hf | formail -fc | sed -e '/^Subject:/ s,\[gentoo-user\] ,,g' :0: .$YEARMONTH-Gentoo/ } Note that while I'm sure this will work, I haven't actually tested it. So be sure to try it out before installing it and letting it run. You could use something like: procmail .procmailrc.new < test.message -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
