samba - Jan 2002 - List filtering for Outlook users (Was: RE: prefix missing in subject)

Tom helpfully pointed out to me that you can filter on the following header
flag:

X-BeenThere: samba@lists.samba.org

This seems to work really well for me, and takes care of my reasons for
wanting a flag in the subject.

For those of you using MS Outlook, my rule reads like this:
"Apply this rule after the message arrives
 with X-BeenThere: samba@lists.samba.org in the message header
 move a copy to the samba folder"

(When you go through the wizard, check the 'Check new messages as they
arrive', 'with specific words in the header', and 'move a copy
to the
selected folder' options, and click the underlined words to put in the
correct values.)

This also works for samba-technical, if you change the header value to
X-BeenThere: samba-technical@lists.samba.org.

By the way, I highly recommend Outlook's 'view by conversation
topic' option
for reading high-volume lists.

FWIW, I do my filtering with procmail and have all list
messages delivered to their own file under ~/Mail/listname.
Since I use Outlook with IMAP, each file is displayed as a
separate "folder".  Here's a snippet from .procmailrc:

/home/jeremy/Mail/samba

HTH.

This is cool. It is good to see someone taking advantage of available tools.
Even if they are stuck using that other stuff. :-) I love open src!!
