I simply use the "Sender: owner-6bone@ISI.EDU" header to identify my 6bone
mail.  I use the Eudora mail client, which can filter a message based on a
header (among other things) and then perform and action if that filter
matches, such as filing in a specific mailbox.  Other mail clients/UNIX
utilities should be able to do the same.
