use filtering based on "To:" and "Cc:" header.
i'm using procmail and here are my rules:
:0:
* ^To.*linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu
mail/_kernel
:0:
* ^Cc.*linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu
mail/_kernel
just add thast to your .procmail (assuming your mail directory is ~/mail).
i'm using pine on linux box.
if you have for example netscape mesanger (or how they call it) there (in
preferences) is "Mail Filter" where you can sort e-mail based on rules
like "where it comes from", "what's in the subject", "who it fos sent to",
...
just take a look at options of your mail client.
dincerely
