You're using: X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.79 [en] (Win98; U) By default that program will not display all of the message headers --- you need to select the 'View all headers' option in order to do that. I haven't used Netscape 4.x for quite a while now, so I can't remember the exact sequence of operations to do that. However, if you go to the File menu and select "Save As..." and save a message as a .txt file you can then open it in Notepad or the like and see all of the headers. Now, I know from experience that Netscape's filtering functionality is perfectly capable of filtering on any SMTP header, although you will probably have to set it up as a custom item as only a few common headers are supplied as "pre-packaged" targets. It shouldn't be too taxing to configure. I reckon "List-ID" is probably a tad more effective than "Sender:" as a filtering term, but that's really a matter of taste.
