Keith,

   Nice geek approach. I use pine and have procmail recipes that sort mail
list arrivals into the appropriate files based on the 'To: ' line. It's
worked here for a number of years and is very easy to maintain and enhance
as necessary.

   In my naivete, I consulted Occam's Razor which said I was using procmail
as the MDA so why not let it do the sorting regardless of the MUA in use?
