[MlMt] Grouping mailing lists

[Robert DelRossi]

Charlie -- I was the one who got you down the path of tagging incoming 
mailing list messages in the first place. But something Max Rydahl 
Andersen said got me considering a different, cleaner approach. I'm not 
sure it will work for you, but here is what I did:

First, I created a new smart mailbox called "Universal Inbox." The goal 
for the Universal Inbox is a place that I can work that isn't cluttered 
by all my various newsletter subscriptions.

On the Universal Inbox I set its Mailboxes tab to a two-part "all" 
condition:

* Condition 1 is the built-in "All Messages" mailbox. That brings in 
every message from every server I use (Google, Business, Personal, etc).
* Condition 2 of the compound is set to "None of the following 
mailboxes" and here I list every other Smart Mailbox that I don't want 
to see, like all my newsletter and the one I have to this MailMate List.

Now I do have to tag anything to exclude. I can work out of the 
Universal Inbox knowing that all the newsletters are already excluded 
automatically.

Hope this might be helpful to you.

-- Robert
