Eric ... forgive me ... I saved this for a slow period and I promise that I
won't turn this into a discussion.
Hi, Tony...I just got around to your message.
Suggestion .. and this assumes that you are using Notes v 4x
Notes allows you to create "Agents" which can be very very powerful
You might create an Agent to run every time new mail arrives.
From the Lotus Notes Desktop: Create -> Agent
A form will be displayed. Create something like the following (I truncated the
Form Prompt with ..." and CAPPED the information you either enter or select
from a pulldown menu.):
Name: TechWriterFile (or pick a more suitable name)
When..." IF NEW MAIL HAS ARRIVED
Which..."Condition...Word and Phrases..." TECHWR-L -at- LIST -dot-
What... "MOVE DOCUMENT YO FOLDER X"
You may find other comnbination of "Word or Phrases" or When or Which
parameters work better, but you should get the idea. I just don't use my work
Notes account for lists...I use Netscape4, which will also filter mail.

My opinions are mine, and neither you nor my company can take credit for
them.
