This is just an idea, but I think the mailing list should 'stamp' the
messages so that people can file them into seperate folders without
having to move some messages manually. I have filters that make ny
message with the word Euphoria file into a folder. Some messages dont
have this word in them and if I put any other filters in it might make
non-Euphoria messages go in the folder. The reason I use filters is
because I dont want to fill up my main folder too much.
P.S. Dont get bad feelings about me. I just dont want to have the
mailing list send me digests all the time (Too hard to reply to.) and it
is too hard to move all the individual messages.

This one is simple.. :) In Outlook Express, I use a filter:
If 'To' contains EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU then move to folder Euphoria
Listserver.
So far, it has worked 100%, no problems. Every single message to the
Listserver has gone into the correct folder.

I search for Euphoria messages by the "To:" line, since it always begins
with "Euphoria", unless it's a related private message.
In my mail reader (Pine), the following keypresses save my Euphoria
messages to my Euphoria folder:
;tt euphoria[enter] as euphoria[enter] xy
...or in English:
select[;] [t]ext [t]o-field "euphoria" [a]ll [s]ave-in "euphoria"
e[x]punge-from-mailbox [y]es
I do it automatically on startup :)
