I've tried to get pine to show the listserv name as well, but no luck.  I 
did, however, start using Filter, following the instructions in the 
excellent faq that is out there, and now all of my listservs get sorted 
into folders. It's great.  And I have no technical skills, and it still 
worked.

On some services (sans Pine) the email reader lists received listserv
mail via listserv name and subject whereas Pine lists mail by
individual's name and subject.  'Just wondering if anyone's reading
listservs through Pine and perchance has figured a way to list them via
listserv.  

I liked seeing pending listserv mail listed by the listserv, it was
much easier to discern and/or sort.  E.g.,

 Apr 10    xyz-l                   moving along
 Apr 11    abc-l                   back to the future

and so on, versus Pine:

 Apr 10   Tom Sawyer               moving along
 Apr 11   Peggy Smith              back to the future

&c.  Anyway, no biggie, just curious if anyone's approached this.  When
subscribed to a few or more listservs, especially busy ones, I found it
faster going to see the source of the mail, i.e., the listserv, listed
rather than the person's name.

Yeah, but what do you do when messages come in with the listserv name in 
the CC: field?!?
