RE: HWG - Mail from HWG lists

I think some mailing list systems (eg. Yahoo) do it automatically, 
and I guess you got the idea from there; but personally, like Nigel, 
I do not like it very much. Also, since there are quite a few hwg 
mailing lists you would have to name them all differently to make it 
work the way you would wish it would. I don't think that it would be 
realistic to try to enforce the usage of the list naming. I would 
certainly "forget". ;-)

I am on several work and not work related mailing lists and have set 
up filters for all of them. All incoming email is filtered out and 
transferred into their respective folders. Any decent email program 
should have a decent filtering option. I'm sure yours does too.
