My early version Eudora (Light 3.13; NOT the one with the built-in scold)
will filter ADS-L into its proper mailbox if "ADS-L" appears in any part of
the header.  OTOH if "ADS-L" appeared in every subject line, I think it
would mess up the sorting feature, which I often use to collect all the
discussion on a particular thread for filing.  A. Murie
