site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com I'm using Mail.app, too, and it works excellent. To set up a mail rule, 1) view a message coming from the list, 2) hit cmd-shift-H to view message headers, 3) look up the line beginning with "List-Id", 4) copy the mail address in this line to the clipboard 5) set up a rule a la "List-Id contains darwin-kernel.lists.apple.com". List-Id is even one of the headers the rule editor suggests. Yes, I've filed bug reports. :P _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Works always, distinguishes mails going to the list from their duplicate sent directly to you and list software developers promised to never change the List Id header due to software upgrades. The problem is, I have a rule that highlights all mail addressed to me (via To:, so, obviously List-ID is useless for this). Now, I tried adding a condition to that that List-ID is not present, but of course Mail can't do that. So I tried saying "doesn't contain '@'" on the Delivered-To header, but that matches everything (evaluates to true if there's no Delivered-To tag). So I tried a separate rule that says "does contain '@'", and then stops evaluating rules. That matches, but the "Stop Evaluating Rules" bit doesn't work - it always keeps going. So then I try to just reverse the changes of my highlight rule, only you can't set the highlight text colour back to black, because Mail for some reason can't handle loading such a condition from it's MessageSorting plist, so it has to be almost-black... The story goes on and on. Ultimately, Mail's filters are way too buggy and weak to handle even this trivial case... (sure, there might be another way to do what I want that I haven't considered, but I'm not going to spend hours on a few stupid mail filters).
