The problem is that in Opera it is all automatic when filtering mailing lists. It uses several different header fields to do this, and List-Id apparently takes presedence when present. I can of course make my own filters and get them filtered/tagged, but they will still be identified (and filtered) as mailing lists. One new list for each mail!! In Opera nothing is moved into folders, but just tagged, which means that a mail can have many different tags, and hence "be in many different folders" at the same time. This usually works very well, and much better than the normal folder-filtering systems I've used before. I can now have a mail, mailinglist or not (and even newsfeeds, usenet, RSS), tagged with 'Important', 'work' etc at the same time. Earlier I had to choose a folder to put the mail into, and make copies if I wanted it filed into more than one folder. I've used Pegasus for many years, and then I had to make my own filters for mailing lists. Then I could filter on whatever I wanted in the headers. The problem is that Legacy is using a standard header field, List-Id, in a non-standard way. IMHO they shouldn't do that! And it should cause no problems for other subscribers if they change the List-Id content to standard, ie a unique, static list-name.
