RE: Filtering Messages (was: *** Admin thoughts (was Product Enhancement by Voting?))

[Joe Giusto <JGiusto@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using Outlook97 and the filtering allows me to filter by From:, To: or
Subject: but I can not find a filter based on the Reply to: address.
I am using the To: but have a number of rules to catch the many ways that
people address the list.  It seems to go off the wording in the To: part
(like ML, or The List, and a few others that seem to be common) and not the
actual address that it was sent to (MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com
<mailto:MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com> ).

David, 

   Is there anyway that you could have the To: header changed to something
standard (different ones for each list) before being re-broadcast?  This
would allow us [that can't use the reply to:] to use one rule that would
catch them all.

The best header to filter on is the REPLY-TO directive.  It will usually
be the list address.  The only address this does not apply to in the
MIDRANGE-JOBS list.
