I have a nice lists.rc which will filter most mailing list messages automagically if anyone wants it. > well there is definitely other software, but i am quite happy with > procmail. it's true that it's a bit difficult to grasp at first, but > it's not really that bad. I had a quick look at maildrop (http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/) earlier; the config format seemed rather more, um, sane than procmail, although I couldn't find any online docs/examples beyond the simple Tips & Tricks page. Not that I looked hard, I'm pretty happy with procmail atm :) I had a look at Gnus too, mainly because people seem to think it handles things like [crap] in subjects an dupes really well; something I'm interested in being handled well somewhere between fetchmail and mutt. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.aagh.net/
