I have a great script that I have added to since, but this is my
lists.rc file that is called with .procmailrc
email me off the list if you would like it.

| Ideally, mail should be filtered before mutt gets to see it. Ie. by
| using fetchmail+procmail to d/l mail from the server and filter it
| into separate mailboxes.
|
| If I were to do this manually, I would tag-pattern (default 'T') the
| messages and tag-save (;s) them into a save-hook specified location.
| (This can probaby be put into a macro).
| No need to tag if there's only one, in which case they can be saved
| straight away.
|
| The save-hook for your case would be something like
|
| save-hook '~s ^RNA000000' +junk
|
| or
|
| save-hook '~s ^RNA0{6}[0-9]{6} new ticket for SCH Help Center' +junk
|
| or
|
| save-hook '~s RNA000000' +junk
|
| or
|
| save-hook '~s RNA0{6}[0-9]{6} new ticket for SCH Help Center' +junk
|
| The first two don't match replies (Subject: Re: RNA....). The 2nd and 4th
| prevent a match on "Subject: RNA000000 hello world" etc. The fuzziness of
| the match is up to you :)
