I use Hotmail via Internet Explorer and have been unable to set the filters
in Hotmail to direct my list mail. The only "from address" I see from my
list mail is the actual list member who sent the message.

I tried to set a filter to direct mail from "vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM" to a
folder of my choice without success. The mail messages appear to come from
the list member not from the Vanagon list!

Has anyone else using Hotmail been able to set the filters to route the
Vanagon list mail to a designated folder other than Bulk Mail?

Mick,
Putting [vanagon] in the subject line would shorten the space for the
subject... something that you forgot in your post .... getting a good read
on the subject without opening each post is key to being able to move
through the great quantities of email on the vanagon list.. much of which I
just delete based on the subject line.
