        Hi;

        I hate all those [blah blah blah] things that a lot of lists
use.
        So, I just use procmail rules like this:

:0 fwh: audiolock2
* ^Sender:.*linux-audio-user
| sed -e '/^Subject:.*\[linux-audio-user\]/s/ \?\[linux-audio-user\] //'

:0 A
$MAILDIR/audio-user

        And I never even see this stuff in the subject line of any
of the mailing lists I subscribe to. The first rule just matches
LAU messages, and cuts out the tag. The second rule matchs anything
the preceeding rule did and saves it in my 'audio-user' folder.
        I dont know how useful this would be for anyone else, but
I thought I would share;)
