Technically this is possible with Petidomo AFAIK but our mails are all
clearly tagged as OpenPKG list mails and hence can be easily filtered.
You can either use the "Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" or
the "List-Post: <mailto:openpkg-users@openpkg.org>" header. Filtering
against those (e.g. with .procmailrc) is as easy as filtering against
the Subject header, isn't it? It just makes a difference for those who
do _NO_ filtering at all, i.e., receive all mails just in their single
mailbox. Only there the "[PREFIX]" helps IMHO, but for all others it
just makes the Subject line even longer (or its meaningful part shorter
when displayed).
