	Its difficult to do otherwise - to filter netbsd maillist mail 
	into a given folder using procmail there appears to be three
	obvious options:

    :0			
    * TO.*@(netbsd.org|gnats.netbsd.org)
    mail/in-netbsd

	Wrong - includes mail to someone@netbsd.org (Ok, I'm unlikely to get
	many like that,	but when I do I want it in my inbox not my netbsd
	lists folder :) Plus mail to a list@xxx.netbsd.org will not be
	picked up. (People send stuff like that sometimes)

    :0
    * ^TO(current-users|gnats-bugs|netbsd-bugs|netbsd-help|\
    netbsd-ports|netbsd-users|source|source-changes|tech-install|\
    [ ... etc etc etc ... ]@netbsd.org|gnats-bugs@gnats.netbsd.org
    mail/in-netbsd

	Uck... uck, uck, uck. And still misses mail to a list@xxx.netbsd.org.

    :0
    * ^Sender:.*-owner@NetBSD.ORG
    mail/in-netbsd

	Picks up all the lists, no more, no less. When the netbsd.org list
	server is changed then I may have to update my procmailrc.. but
	on balance it seems the best option...

	Apologies if I've missed something - if anyone knows a better way
	_please_ fill me in!
