Does anyone know how/if it is possible to only download mail based on
a header such as the From: field?
The ideal solution is having something like fetchmail dialling in
periodically and downloading all mail for simon@tyrant.demon.co.uk if
it is from the various mailing lists I am subscribed to. This way I
can check my mail when I am at uni or wherever and don't have to
browse through all the list mail which I don't want to see till I get
home.
My .fetchmailrc, via the man page, so far is

poll pop3.demon.co.uk protocol SDPS username simon@tyrant password xxx

Any ideas?

Thanks 

Simon
