Sensible person :)
:0

{
# Subjects usually start off with "[groupname] subject title" (without
quotes)
* ^Subject:.[\/]
$LASTFOLDER=$MATCH
}
Try something more like this:
:0:
* Mailing-List: list (_dot_)*(_at_)yahoogroups(_dot_)com
* Subject: .*\[\/[^\]]+
$MATCH
This sorta goes like this, line by line:
- Recipe. Use lockfile of your choice (in this case, $MATCH.lock, IIRC)
- Check it's from YahooGroups because this header is added by yahoo
- Select the Subject line.
Find a [ (escape the [ to make sure it's not interpreted as the start
of a character class)
Match (\/) everything except a ] (also escaped, so we know it's not
the end of the character class).
When we get to a ] this match thing is now false. End.
- Save the message in $MATCH, which now contains everything between
[ and ]. Note that if there's spare [ or ] charactors in your subject
line you might get bizarre weird folder names!
Oh, and you might want to test it. I only proved it was correct, I
didn't actually try it, so I probably got some of the escaping wrong.
To paraphrase somebody important :)
