RE: Format of these messages

Unless I have missed the obvious (very possible today), there is no way to
set up filters in Outlook 2000 to select on List-Post: or List-ID:.

Hi Jeff,

The "To:" header is not really suited to what you're trying to do.   What
if I wrote a message, for example, to you and sent a CC: to the list?  the
"To:" header would have your name, and the CC: would have the list...
I'm sure there are other examples, too... where the To: header does not
match.

In the message headers there are some mailing-list  specific headers which
work beautifully for splitting the messages into folders.  For example,
in the message you wrote (that I'm now replying to) it looks like this:

List-Help: <mailto:midrange-l-request@midrange.com?subject=help>
List-Post: <mailto:midrange-l@midrange.com>
List-Subscribe: <http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l>,
        <mailto:midrange-l-request@midrange.com?subject=subscribe>
List-Id: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l.midrange.com>
List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l>,
        <mailto:midrange-l-request@midrange.com?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/>

Using the "List-Id:" header to split out the messages will probably
give you something a bit more reliable than the "To:" header does.
