I *think* the matter of making 2 lists (or 3, or 4, or...) can be done in

Ok.  I am going to do this on my personal machine (not connected with my
employer).  The splits that I am proposing to use are those listed at
http://www.ietf.org/maillist.html, being:

        ietf-announce-meeting:  IETF Meeting logistics,
        ietf-announce-agendas:  Agendas for working group and BOF sessions at 
IETF meetings,
        ietf-announce-wgact:    working group actions,
        ietf-announce-idann:    Internet-Draft announcements,
        ietf-announce-iesglast: IESG Last Calls,
        ietf-announce-iesgact:  IESG protocol and document actions,
        ietf-announce-rfc:      RFC announcements.
        ietf-announce-default:  Anything not matched.

The above splits are perhaps, overkill, however they consist of the
'known' categories.  Note that I am going err on the side of caution, and
assume that all subscribers to any of the above would wish to know about
announcements that do not fit into a known category (via the -default
split above).

Anyone who wants to put up?

Subscription information should be available tomorrow or later tonight,
depending on my available spare time, or whether anyone else bothers to do
this beforehand.  The procmail recipe used to implement such will also be
available.

Regards,
