Not Listproc, which is what this list uses (this has been asked before). 
However, I plan to switch software in the New Year to one which will do that
(and other useful stuff besides)

If people want to filter list mail from other mail, then any of the headers
below will be consistent:

Hi,

This event caught my eye and I thought all of you might find it interesting.

I was at church yesterday and a lesbian couple was having their infant
baptized. The baby's name was printed in the bulletin as "Valdemar". His
middle name was hispanic, but the last name was more eastern European. The
pastor pronounced it "Vlademar" so I wasn't really sure. I didn't have a
chance to meet the parents either.

I have it set up to filter.  I receive the messages in
digest form, and have the filter set to the "from"
liner.  It sends mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk into a
separate file.  It has worked for me this year or so
that I have been reading.  

Speaking of reading, does anyone have any idea where I
can find Brightly Burning? I haven't been able to find
it around here, and don't want to go online.  Maybe
somebody knows when it is due to come out in mass
market?

Also, I have to say, while I have your eyes so to
speak, that I enjoy reading the digests.  I don't post
generally, but do enjoy reading.

As far as I understod it, the bullitin said Valdemar, and Valdemar is an
ancient Danish name, so it exists. We have even had 3 different Kings named
Valdemar, all 3 of which have been some of the greatest kings in Danish
history.

I also think it's used in Germany, but I'm unsure about that.

As far as I know, it is already in mass market.  I've
found it in almost every bookstore I've been to, or
they are waiting for their order to come in.  Granted,
some of these are major chains here in the U.S., but
some of them are local stores.  I'm not sure when it's
coming out in paperback; it's only available in
hardcover right now.

And to the subject of the "maybe mis-print" of the
name "Valdemar" on the baptism announcement... Maybe
the priest was very unfamiliar with that name, and had
heard of "Vlademar" before, so said it the way he knew
it?? lol  IIRC, in my travels through libraries, I
thought I'd read somewhere that there actually had
been a king(s) named "Valdemar" in our world...
Possibly in Europe somewhere???  Correct me if I'm
wrong... Not too remote a possibility, I assure you!
