It did come up in practice: the mail in question was missed by my spam exception filter, whose procmail rule was in my previous email to this list. The procmail log entry is this: From mailman-bounces@cs.drexel.edu Fri Jan 20 00:24:24 2006 Subject: Cs260-200502 post from xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzzzzz@drexel.edu requires Folder: bogofilter-unsure 5347 I'll have to look at formail some, as suggested by Mark Bergman. I'm reluctant to concatenate all continued headers (To:, CC:) but maybe I can get it to do what I want nontheless.
