This is slightly off-topic but I would be interested in whether anyone has succeeded in creating a filter expression for Google's gmail system that will select messages sent through the R-help and R-devel lists. It seems as if it should be easy to select on '[R]' or '[Rd]' in the subject line but I haven't been able to work out the exact syntax that would do this and not select messages that have an 'R' anywhere in the subject.
The subject keywords in my filter is "[R]" OR "[Rd]" and it works well.

Doug, I was able to accomplish this for r-help by filtering on the "To" field with the following addresses: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch, r-help at r-project.org I created this a week ago and it has so far filtered every mailing list messages successfully. Gmail conversations are a wonderful way to catch up on list activity after periods of neglect.
