filter for List-Id ?

filter for List-Id ?

[ng0]

Hello,

I have a problem with filtering/tagging debbugs on gnu.org.

Ricardo told me:

However reading `info notmuch-search-terms(7)' and trying to just search
for list:bug-guix.gnu.org or without the list: prefix, not much turns up
as result (only unrelated results). Is this not implemented in notmuch,
and if it is not, how could it be achieved?

Thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry. I've read the FAQ but it's been some time since I last
did so. Thanks for reminding me of this.

Thanks

to get around that issue, what I do is that I added an afew rule that
checks for the presence of `List-Id` and if there is, it's automagically
adding the `ml` tag.

Then when comes the time for searching, you can just select all mails
that has a to/cc of gnu.org and the tag ml (which will exclude your
direct correspondence with gnu members ☺).

You can also add the content of the List-Id as a tag, but that can be
dangerous… You never know what can of crazy 1000 characters thing you'll
get in a spam (because some spamlists are using the `List-Id:` header!)

HTH,
