Souldn't we put [Cygwin] or [CygXwin] here depending on the question?

Sorry to reply to the list, but having another reply on list can't hurt :)

The way I've done this in mozilla and thunderbird (so I assume netscape 
7 will be the same). Go to Tools, Message Filters (I assume it will be 
in the same place in netscape 7) and make new rule.

 From the drop down box that says "subject", select "To or CC". Leave 
the "contains" the same, and stick cygwin@cygwin.com in the box at the end.

The if you look down under "perform these actions" you can select "move 
to folder" and choose a folder to send it to. Make similar filters for 
cygwin-apps / cygwin-x / etc.

Note: in the message filters box, look at the top where it says "filters 
for:". make sure you have the correct account selected!

Also, if you want to test your new shiny filter, if you click on it 
there is a "run now!" option!


Hope that is a simple enough guide :)

Chris
