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"... Actually, I greatly _prefer_ have the [SLE] in the subject line. It makes it trivial for a human to spot a mis-filed message. There will always be ways for a computer to filter mail that don't depend on it being easy or sensible or anything else. It is nice, however, to have one easy human-friendly way to do it as well. Mark
