 It puts the label on and still sticks it in the spam box now and again.
 But the labels are easy to spot as you're skimming through the spam
 filter.

That has been my experience as well.  Usually it will be a few posts
from the same person that get identified as spam even if they are list
members, and once you open the email and and click not spam, it
automatically moves those emails to the in-box.

 I'm trying to figure out how to use the labels and filters right now, but it
 already seems to know how to filter out most of the spam.  Do you use
 filters?

 Doug

I use filters to apply labels.

Check the spam filter on a regular basis, sometimes it flags something as 
spam which really, really isn't.  (Such as mailing lists posts you 
wanted in your inbox!)

Yes, it seems to work well.  There was even an instructional video  in the
help.

Does it filter spam before it  checks the users filters?  I set up a  Brin-l
label and filter it using the to: address.  I would hope it filters to my
label _before_ it sends it to Spam.

If you send anything to a mailing list from gmail, it will not turn up in 
your gmail inbox.  This is a feature of gmail, a rather annoying one, 
IMO.

But if someone replies to your message, the thread will turn up in your 
inbox.

So, is your message bundled with this one in your inbox?  :)

Very annoying.

No, I wasn't getting anything through to my Gmail, but with some expert  
assistance I've got it working now.

see how you like it when your e-mail starts piling up in your inbox and
sent box, all bundled together with stuff you didn't want to save.  if
you're like me and only save important e-mail this is a mess.  i went
bank to using yahoo after a month.  i've had the same account for years
and already gmail has as much spam in less than a month.

I eliminate the stuff I don't want to save and archive the stuff I don't 
want to refer to very often but still want to hang on to.
