Oh, of course that would be very annoying. I already use procmail to
filter each list to it's own box, usually based on the List-id: header
or equivalent.

My interest is in weeding out everything that isn't relevant to me. For
instance, and purely for example, if I were subscribed to an extremely
high volume list like the linux kernel mailing list I could settup MCP
rules and scores for various keywords or phrases of interest to me:
specific drivers, filesystems, netfilter changes, etc. Messages with
lots of keywords or phrases pertinent to me would score high and
messages lacking pertinence would score low. Then I could define ranges
of scores in procmailrc to get prioritized mboxes.

Julian, does the MCP SA include bayes support? If so it could be trained
to recognized the probability of pertinence. :)

replies.
