Re: Email filters

["Jon Southwood" <jsouthwood@gmail.com>]

Hi, Sean. Thunderbird has the capability of adding header fields for
its filters. "X-Loop" is the field that should be added, and the filter
should look for "Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com" within it. I
don't have Thunderbird here at work, so I can detail how to add that
field, but I've done it at home to use Thunderbird in conjunction with
SpamBayes to great effect.

As to the specific messages in question: Bill Fox is a long-time member
of this list who happens to run a radio show called "Galactic Travels."
He sends the playlists for his shows after they broadcast for (what
seems to me) two primary reasons: 1) Much of the music that he plays is
loop-related and therefore apropos this list and 2) He often programs
the music of members of this list, which then allows the lismembers to
see their collegues' names in lights, as it were.

Questions regarding Bill's playlist messages seem to come up often enough that he should get his own FAQ entry...

Cheers,

Jon Southwood

Hmm... didn't work.  I don't think I understood your direction.  I'm
using Thunderbird and currently have filters looking for the mailing
group address in To, CC, and Body.  Per your comment, I also added a
filter looking for "X-Loop: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com"in To or
CC.  The mystery messages have the subject "Galactic Travels Playlist
#504 for November 23, 2006" and were sent from Bill Fox.

To clarify, I don't have a problem with my filters, just the format of
the original message header.  Come to think of it, it's kind of a
blessing.  The message was obviously advertising and
"undisclosed-recipients" indicates to me that it was sent by an email
blaster.  I only want to see conversations on a mailing list, so I guess
this works to my advantage.

Thanks for your help Todd,
Sean
