I'll let others go into them, as they already have. :) If you're using procmail, though, you could use this recipe to file your FreeBSD mail into various folders: FROM="((X-)?(((Envelope-)?Sender|(Apparently-|Resent-)?From)|Reply-To|Return-Path):(.*\<)?)" :0 : * $ (^$FROM|^TO_)freebsd.org * ^Sender:[ ]*owner-(freebsd-)?\/(advocacy|announce|arch|chat|current|cvs-all|hackers|hardware|ipfw|isp|jobs|mobile|mozilla|net|ports|questions|security|smp|stable) | formail -i "X-List: freebsd-$MATCH" >> freebsd/$MATCH You'll have to modify the recipe if you subscribe to more freebsd lists than that, or if you don't want them all in a folder called "freebsd".
