Thunderbird filtering problem

[Art Alexion]

I too, stopped subscribing to the ubuntu-users list (check it
occasionally via gmane) because of the volume, but when I did the
following filters worked.

The first (that is, closer to the top, than the other) filter is "to or
cc is kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com" and the second (again, just
relatively farther down) is "to or cc is
ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com".  Works fine, and traps my "cc to self"
postings as well.

>Sylpheed also handles List-ID in a nice fashion, and it might be better than simply sorting by To or CC, since someone can have both ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com and kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com as recipient - and I'm sure thunderbird can handle it in some similar way.
