Use of "from" in filter-rules currently matches text on the From: line.
With some of the automatic LISTSERVers, the original poster's address is
retained in the From: line, and the only way to know that the message is
from a particular LISTSERVer is to look at the very first From header
line.  Is there any way to instruct the filter program to scan the very
first From header line in mail?
