Those are both products I use regularly.

Since when did webmailers become a suitable and efficient MUA to use on medium-to-high-volume mailingslists ? Further why not filter it on the server through use of address-extentions like most servers (apart from sendmail, but who wants to use sendmail?) support, that would give excellent conditions even for webmails that can't do anything apart from dish out your password in plaintext... Notes can filter, but as you say, not very good, but then again Notes is a poor emailclient as it can't thread and it doesn't follow any standards and even breaks a few conventions... Filtering on user-variable data is a poor deal, it's to easy to get mail filtered wrong because of some (l)user putting [PHP] in the topic, or what ever you filter on, if somebody replies to you offlist without changing topic, you don't want the reply to go to the same place as the rest of the list... you get the picture... -- Andreas D Landmark / noXtension Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then.
