Doh!  Yes, obviously, I copied it from something longer in order to
get an isolated example, but should have checked.  Thanks.

Got it.  Thanks.

That was what I originally wanted to do, but of course that doesn't
work when someone does reply-all, I sent the mail, and the list is
configured to suppress duplicates.  I could turn off duplicate
suppression, I suppose, except that the version of pigeonhole in
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS doesn't have the duplicate extension (so I guess it's
slightly older; dovecot --version says 2.2.9).

The more I think about this (or actually, live with it), however, the
less satisfactory the generic answer is anyway, since people often
copy more than one list and I discover I have an opinion about which
one ought to be "primary".  So I think I'll have to go back to a rule
per list.

Thanks very much for your help, because this is at least allowing me
to learn.

Best regards,

A
