Not in Eudora ;-)  Eudora's filters are much better than Outlook, IMHO, I 
have one filter for all mail coming to this list and it works great (the 
other solution is to setup an alias like mine so that a simple rule always 
works for that alias, though not everyone will have that ability).

Unless you take the time to remove them, which I did here, but won't always 
remember to do.  One can always CC or BCC the original sender if they feel 
it's necessary, but the important thing for discussion lists like this is 
that everyone sees everyone else's input.  2 or 3 chatting back and forth 
in private does little to promote discussion amongst others in the list.

IMHO....
