Without directly answering that question, I have found that using the List-Id header is much nicer. And, it can be used to automatically filter a lot of lists with one rule, rather than having separate rules for each list. Here's an example to illustrate: # automagically handle nice standards conforming mailing lists. # taken from http://spacepants.org/conf/dot.procmailrc, # where it was attributed to Jeff Waugh :0 * ^List-Id: +\/.* { LISTID=$MATCH :0 * LISTID ?? ^.*[<]\/[^@>\.]* lists/$MATCH/ # the ^ * seems ineffective at removing spaces, best to be sure # the initial pattern does this (e.g.: ^List-Id: +\/.*) :0 * LISTID ?? ^ *\/[^@\.]* lists/$MATCH/ } # try to match List-Post headers :0 * ^List-Post: *[<]mailto:\/.* { LISTPOST=$MATCH :0 * LISTPOST ?? ^ *\/[^@]* lists/$MATCH/ } This handles most of my lists. Only a few that I want filtered into mailboxes that don't match the name used in the List-Id or that don't use a List-{Id,Post} header need explicit rules. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Internet treats censorship as a malfunction and routes around it. -- John Perry Barlow
