Postings from July 2000
You absolutely do _not_ need to be a procmail wizard to seperate a single list with key words in the titles, and even if you did, surely someone here could post their filter, ready for individuals to tweak to their situation? If you're not lucky enough to use *NIX for reading your email, then the chances are that your email client can cope with what's needed. I know for a fact that both Outlook and Groupwise can filter the mail appropriately....

Maybe I'm a Luditte, but I've never learned mail filtering, and having this knowledge as a prerequisite for contributing to Perl might be a silly barrier to others as well. bootstrap has almost totally swamped my meager mail capabilities. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
