I was just copying your syntax, assuming that you'd at least gotten 
the tag patterns to do what you wanted.

Well, that should be pretty close, but let's build it up from the 
basics first. First, try this macro:

macro index ,S '<tag-pattern>~h "List-Id: CentOS mailing list"<enter>'

Does that tag all the right messages? Next, add the next piece:

macro index ,S '<tag-pattern>~h "List-Id: CentOS mailing 
list"<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>'

That should bring up a save-message prompt. Does it? If it does, add 
the next piece:

macro index ,S '<tag-pattern>~h "List-Id: CentOS mailing 
list"<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>+2007.09.centos<enter>'

Now what does that do?

Follow the same process to build up the rest of the macro, and figure 
out where it's going wrong.
