I'm sorry, I won't change my habits daily on the basis of the quirks of
whatever software you happen to be running. Perhaps you should look

At first I thought you were being humorous but it seems to be associated
with the use of your new mailer. You might want to take a look at mutt.
For filtering, try procmail. They're both in the ports.

Certainly you do! You have permission to unsubscribe from -newbies or any
other list any time you wish if you'd really prefer to to receive the
type of mail the list provides. Let me know if you need any help with
this or anything else.
