I've tried putting a filter on x-mailing-list and put suse-linux-e there, and I've tried putting it in List-Id and List-post, I've also used and suse-linux-e@suse.com, with no luck. The mails appear in "INbox" instead of the mailbox "SUSE", and I have to manually move them to "SUSE" because the filter does not send them there.

mine has: To: contains suse-linux-e@suse.com I use list-post. The reason is that suse-linux-e@suse.com could be in to:, CC: and possibly bcc: where you won't see it. In the past, list-post seems to be very stable.

- From Q3.3) of this list FAQ, the recommended way is to use "Mailing-List" for filtering this list: If your system is configured to use procmail to deliver mail locally (SuSE's postfix and sendmail packages are) all you need to do is create a file in your home directory named '.procmailrc' that contains something like the following: MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # where do you keep your mail? DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox # what's you default mail box? # if mail is from list put it in $MAILDIR/foo :0 * ^Mailing-List:.*suse-linux-e $MAILDIR/foo Everything else will be placed in $DEFAULT. By default, procmail creates a normal mbox formatted mail box so if you want to copy the file somewhere (e.g., to a PDA) you only need to, in the above example, copy $MAILDIR/sle. Of course, procmail is capable of much more than what this simple example shows, so please read procmailrc(5) and procmailex(5) for more information. If to the above you add a second rule like: :0 * ^TO_suse-linux-e@suse.com $HOME/Mail/lists/in_dups it will catch those replies CC to the list and the originator ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDpwhBtTMYHG2NR9URAkRbAJ90ckJTZTvacu4YT/Spwup28KYF2gCfZo4D NUCEKS1G9jWy9O2F0CFUATU= =M1Xh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Actually, now as I read all this, maybe just adding a 3rd trigger in the first rule (for the TO field), and making this rule to inspect outgoing mails as well, should work.

Even easier, and no need for another filter: Right-click on the folder that you use for the mailing list, select "Properties", and check the box next to "Keep replies in this folder". Instead of going to your sent-mail folder, replies will end up in the mailing list folder. This will also preserve threading. -- Homepage http://scottj.org XFce desktop environment http://www.xfce.org Goodies for the XFce desktop http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de

A filter on the subject containing "[SLE]" works for me flawlessly.

This practice is why so many mailing lists pollute their participants' subject headers with this superfluous silliness. There are plenty other better ways to filter email. The best run lists keep their servers hands off the Subject header.

Too bad this is not one of those "best run lists"...

but IT IS.

Actually, I greatly _prefer_ have the [SLE] in the subject line.

I *used* to have a sed filter around here somewhere to remove those. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Jon, KMail will show you full headers, if you request it (View -> Headers -> All Headers). When you do, you'll see there is no x-mailing-list, it's x-mailinglist. Likewise, there's no List-ID. There _is_ a list-post, and it contains suse-linux-e@suse.com, so a filter based on that criterion should work.

I use the Delivered-To header.

Thanks, I just used kmails automatic filter creation and didn't know about that little "trick" there. Created a filter on X-Malinglist and it's working flawlessly. Thanks everyone for the help! Jon
