These are the procmail rules I use to split this list into separate
folders. Hopefully it is of inspiration for anyone who wants to do a
similar thing on their own mail client. Sieve rules should be fairly
similar (sieve supports regular expressions as well). 
Note that order is relevant, and usually first match wins. 
Most (all?) mail clients have some filtering options. Learning to use
them sure add to our bag of knowledge. It's not harder than learning
to use DSP :-)
