Jeff, my ISP is partnered with Yahoo (i.e. too cheap and lacking in creativity to provide a robust e-mail service on its own) so I too have been receiving SeeSat-L messages with [BULK] added to the subject line, despite having white-listed SeeSat-L. Since Aug 21, the white-list has been ignored, apparently only for SeeSat-L. I have been hoping the problem would resolve on its own, but perhaps I need to contact my ISP/Yahoo. > <Snipola> > > I've mentioned this quite some time ago, but I wish this > list prefixed something like "[SeeSat]" to the beginning > of the subject line so we can easily make a filter to > automatically permit such messages.

Brian, I receive several requests per year for a [SeeSat] tag on the subject line, but I dislike such tags, so I have declined. > Some software only has basic filtering capability that > only works on a handful of headers.

All I can suggest is that if your mail client permits filtering on the message body, try filtering on a substring of the tag lines appended to all SeeSat-L messages, e.g. "Questions, SeeSat-L archive". Any further discussion of these matters should be taken to UseSat-L; alternatively, please feel free to contact me directly.
