Re: a little comparison of procmail and maildrop
I apologize for the continuation of this thread on the mutt list..
I've tried to subscribe to the procmail list as described on
http://www.procmail.org/ with no success. If anyone can point me to
the real right way to subscribe to that list, I'd greatly appreciate
it.

I've seen something similar to this approach before. I was wondering
how this compares, as far as efficiency, to just directly sorting,
based on matching the mailing list address. Now that I think about
how it works a little more, it seems much more convenient. What ends
up in the X-List-Classify: header?
Thanks,
