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

I'm using LookOut98 so this may not apply exactly but one of the filter
conditions is "with specific words in the message header" and I filter for
"midrange-l" and "rpg400-l" (wishing the latter was rpgiv-l) without the
quotes of course, and it's been working as well as any M$ product can be
expected to work.

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.
