None of which the brain-dead email client that I have to use at the office will filter on. I'm lucky to get it to work on "Subject:"
I can use Subject, from, to, cc, reply-to, in-reply-to, recipient, and all. It doen't allow for "and" or "or". Just one of the above exclusively. But then again if everyone would put the list in the "To" field instead of cc'ing the list it might make life a little easier.
How about '"all" contains "X-Mailinglist: suse-security"' then? This is exactly the "trick" in how to filter with Netscape mail frontends discussed a few dozen times in several suse lists in the past few years. And of course you're free to use any of the other ten occurencies of "suse-security". But the "X-Mailinglist:" is the one which got in for this very reason. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
