Filtering messages that belong to mailing lists

[Mario Andes]

Hi J.L.,

sure I can do it by hand. But TB is perhaps the best mail client.
Shoudn't it be natural that mailing list are included?
Therefore I'm looking for the TB mechanism to handle mailing lists.
If TB can handle it it would be even faster ?!

Thank You
Mario
