A simple solution, if you're using a unix machine, is to get hold of a bit of
software called "procmail". You can set it up to filter incoming mail and file
it away or leave it there if you like.
I have mine setup to move all the MGs list messages into a seperate folder, all
the british-cars list mail to another, all the cycling ones to another, and
so on. Now when I get to work in the morning, instead of 200+ messages to read
through, I just get one from a script I wrote telling me how many new messages
I have in the various places, and the "real" messages.
I think it's freely available - I can find out if you're interested.
Cheers,
Andy

It occurred to me, as I was trying to wade through the messages to determine
which of them required my attention days ago, that it would be extremely
helpful if I could identify which of them were a result of this list (and,
therefore, probably required little of me for the time being) in a simple
and quick way.
