list subject options

[Paul Edlund]

I'm filtering with a rule that looks for "Reply-To: MailScanner
Beta-testers" in the header information. It works great.

I agree with Julian, the subject information is not the best way to filter
email.

Julian,
    I use procmail to filter out stuff I don't really need to see, like
{Spam?}, and Netbackup reports, and some other system reporting.  But
I *do* want to see MailScanner msgs.  I would just like a quick way
to differentiate the mailscanner list from the mailscanner-beta list.
They look a lot alike at first glance.  BTW, my email client is Pine
on UNIX, my favorite editor is vi, I would probably drive a Yugo if 
they were still around...
