Yeah, that's the "very elaborate" way I thought about. Something like
(writing this off of the top of my head, not tested in anyway),
# Send email from the various FreeBSD lists to inboxes of their own
:0
*^Sender: owner-\/[^@]+@FreeBSD.ORG
{
:0
*^Sender: owner-cvs-committers@FreeBSD\.org
{
:0
*^X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch: \/.*
{
:0 hc
| grep ^Message-ID: >> .msgids_cvs-committers
:0
BSDcvs-${MATCH}
}
:0
*^Message_ID: \/.*
*? grep "^Message-ID: ${MATCH}" .msgids_cvs-committers
BSDcvs-${MATCH}
}
LISTNAME=${MATCH}
:0
* LISTNAME??^\/[^@]+
BSD${MATCH}
}
But that seems kind of... well, kind of ugly.
