I handle all my mail, and mailing lists with mail2snz and Snews.

If it doesn't do what you like, mail mail2snz@wash.demon and
beat on me until it does.  Others have, and I have the bruises
to show for it.  ;-)

I do have some more plans for mail2snz (scanning all of header,
regular expression matching, etc etc) but right now it's on the
back burner until the next version of Prune is out.  But all
input is welcome and will go in the 'to do' list.
