Sadly yes, I thought others might like to benefit from being able to
filter their mail too.

I think this might be the solution - but currently is untested.

  1) Filter out emails that have both my email and subversion
     lists in the recipients, but did not originate from the list
     server.
  2) Filter out duplicates (first list message delivered is saved)
  3) Filter lists from subversion.tigris.org lists into a mailbox.

When I feel confident it is working (perhaps after this test) I plan to
send the files to /dev/null instead of the duplicates maildir.

All svn lists go in the same folder. You could split them out if you'd
like into dev and user by repeating the rule and adding more information
to the reg exp in the List Rule.

Cheers,
Chris
