Several years ago I wrote a UNIX utility that splits my incoming mail (directly from the spool) into files based on the To: and Cc: fields. I can specify the various mailing lists to which I subscribe in the shell script, with all others going to a file named "other". This way I can give higher priority to the mail that names me specifically as a recipient, and put off the mailing lists for later. And I can use any conventional mailer (like Mail) to read the split files. Phil
