Why do the OpenBSD lists have no List-ID header?

With the existing set of headers, it's impossible to filter the mail in gmail 
and other lame mail clients that don't allow arbitrary headers to be entered.

I know, the world doesn't revolve around GMail, much as Google might like that 
to be the case.  But in the interest of those of us who use it, could they 
please be added?

entered.


I use gmail and I filter on:

	Matches: to:(misc@openbsd.org)

same for ports@, x11@, tech@, etc. It work just fine.

Same here. Works great.

A mail that is sent to misc@openbsd.org, and CC to my personal address, should 
have the mailing list copy filtered to my misc folder, and the personal copy 
deliverede to my inbox.  Filtering by To or CC breaks this, hence why proper 
mailing list filtering is never done using To, CC, or Subject.

I use the Sender: header.

How is it that you manage to filter on that in gmail?  Because it's not 
documented anywhere that I can find, and the only undocumented parameters I 
could find are replyto, deliveredto, and listid.  A search for 
sender:misc@openbsd.org returns nothing, so that isn't it.

I did just find that list:misc@openbsd.org appears to work though (d'oh!), 
although according to the documentation, it's not terribly precise, as it 
looks for that anywhere in the headers, "sent to or from this list".  It 
seems to work well enough for my needs though, sorry for not seeing that 
before.

I use fdm(1) (http://fdm.sourceforge.net/). I didn't read your original message
properly, you're looking for a solution in the gmail web interface. I tried
looking into that once but their filtering is weird. I found that you can use
the search filtering language from the message search in the filtering rules.
I'm not sure if that is supposed to be a bug or a feature.

Check for the X-Loop header
