Multiplicity of email aliases.

[Paul Meyers]

You are correct. The magic bullet is to look for <quattro.audifans.com> in
the header. Works every time. Go ahead and use whatever alias rings your
chime.

You are running into this problem because you are not filtering on
the right thing.  Currently every qlist message has the following line
in the mail header:

List-Id: The Audifans Quattro List <quattro.audifans.com>

If you filter on that you'd be fine.

BTW, it is bad form to post to a mailing list with MIME enabled.
You have your regular ASCII text mail in one MIME part and then
an HTML version of it in the second part.  Completely unnecessary.
Please configure your MS Outlook to send *only* plain text messages
without MIME.
