Create 2 filter (in the following order):

 The first will catch any mail that really went through the listserver.
 Condition: if Sender contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] move to TBUDL.

 The second one will catch the mail that was CC:-d to you:
 Condition: if Recipient contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] , delete
 message (Actions tab).

Hope that helps

Yes, I meant that. It would be nice to see "kill dupes" option at
least in the folder properties.

Sorry, I was stupid. I never played with Alternatives and didn't
realize that they have sets of filter and not just one filter strings.

Hello Peter,

Well by manually, you mean you have to select the menu command once
every couple of mail checks?  If that's what you mean, then yes, you
have to do it manually.

Depends how fancy you want to get.  Suppose I want to look for
(januk AND canada.com) OR (januk AND something else)

This will catch all mail with my address even if I put in some spam
blocking stuff.

The other thing you might want to do is search for one string in one
location or another string in another location.  This is most easily
accomplished using Alternatives.  For example, maybe you want all mail
that is not directly addressed to you and any mail you send yourself.
Then your filter conditions would be:

Main:
String   Location Presence
your address RecipientNo

Alternative:
String   Location Presence
your address Sender   Yes
 

TB's filtering conditions allow for huge flexibility, even without
regular expressions. Add regular expressions to the mix and you can do
*very* fancy things.

Kill Dupes and Alternatives

2000-12-08 Thread Peter Gannushkin 

Hello All,

  I decided to reorganize my mail a little and discovered couple of
  strange things.

  1. In some mail lists people are sending copies to private addresses
  too. As all my mail is filtered I don't really need them. The only
  way to deal with them is to kill dupes manually. I wonder if there
  is a way to put it into the filter or folder properties.

  2. It seems like Alternatives tab is useless in filter properties
  because I can use "|" in the main tab.
