I've been sorting all of my FreeBSD list stuff into a common mailbox (using a sieve script on the IMAP server I use) and since this, and have just started (as a result of this discussion) playing with color coding by which particular list. The color coding is done in the MUA (Mail.app in my case). In general, I automatic delivery into particular folders as the business of the IMAP server (not the client) while something like display properties for messages meeting particular criteria as something to do in the MUA. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/
