messages messed up?

2000-10-20 14:14:08
HI all. I've been skulking for a bit, but still don't fully understand
what the problem is. I've got the following types of simple rules in my rc
file (here's but one example):

    :0:
    * ^TOcomp.os.linux.misc
    comp.os.linux.misc

Which doesn't work 100%. I think it's because of the message headers
on some of the email postings I get from Deja are messed up, but I
know so little about this I'm not sure.

Here's the headers from two separate messages, the first was properly
filtered by the above rule, the second stayed in my inbox. My mua
(mutt) showed the proper 'To: comp...' in the message header display
section for the good one, while the second (bad) shows only the actual
poster's 'From:' in the header.

Basically, what can I do to fix this?
thks ahead of time.jeff
