Well Hi There Svobi,

Mail lists can usually be filtered using either the Reply-To or
X-BeenThere lines in the header.

This is safer than filtering the Subject line using something like
[SCOUG-Help] because the sender might CC a copy directly to you. If you
filter on [SCOUG-Help] then BOTH copies of the message will end up in
the SCOUG folder. But if you filter the header on Reply-To or
X-BeenThere (mail lists usually have at least one of these in the
header) then the CC'd copy will go to your personal folder and the copy
that goes through the list will go to the SCOUG folder.

Hope this helps,

- Peter
