    Good time.

    There are so many threads in this list , and it is great of course , but some
    of them are not interesting for me .
    So , i'm just in writing some scripts for mailfilter and mutt to delete them on
    pop3-server before downloading .And i have some questions:

    1)first:maybe somebody has done this?
    2)As i understand there is some limitations to this idea:
            a)in ideal ,mailfilter must understand the rules with double conditions
            ,e.g.:
            DENY=(^From bounce-debian-user.*)&&(^Subject.*unwanted thread) .
            But now it can't.
            b)second solution:list-server must put list-name in subject header, like
            mplayer-users list do:'Subject: [MPlayer-users] seeking in a video
            file'.I asked for this feature listmaster@lists.debian.org several times
            with no answer .
            c)last solution : while mailfilter don't support double rules and
            listmaster don't agree to change the 'subject' header in the mails -
            we are to use separate mail accounts for such lists and separate
            mailfilter's conf-files .
    The question is : maybe i'm wrong somewhere ?(It is not pleasant to do the
    useless job.)

    Oh,yes, mailfilter doesn't support national charsets , so this is working only
    for subjects in latin-based languages. :(
