Any filter that can't filter on something as simple as "Sender" header
is broken. All cygwin list messages have the following in the header:

  Sender: cygwin-owner AT sources DOT redhat DOT com 

Pretty trivial. Please consult the documentation of your mail client or
filter. Of course, if someone were to send you a "courtesy" copy as well,
then you'll get two copies, one filtered and one not since it came from
the sender directly. There are various somart filters that will do the
right thing with the right ruleset. 

I hope this doesn't start a whole new off-topic thread, and if it does,
I apologize in advance.

Regards,
Mumit
