I do have some mails I have to sort according to subject. Well, because you asked so nicely... Same basic idea as the `List-Id' filtering: :0: * ^Subject:.*string-to-match-on some-mbox-file Or, only for up2date messages on this list: :0: * ^List-Id: .*fedora-list.redhat.com * ^Subject:.*up2date IN.fedora-list-yet-more-up2date-stuff You get the idea. Also, the man pages for `procmailrc' and `procmailex' are valuable resources. -chris
