I'm glad it was helpful.

It occurs to me now that if you want greater precision than:

  ! ~f discourse

you could make an address group and go:

  ! ~f %discourse

and maintain a small alias group thus:

  alias -group discourse discourse \
    Haskell Discourse List <discourse at haskell.org>, \
    Some Other Discourse List <discourse at other.example.ocom>

I find groups quite handy, for example tuning for HTML vs plain text:

  # prefer plain text
  message-hook . 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/plain text/html'
  # senders who can't seem to master multipart/mixed, and send empty
  # or useless text/plain sections
  # or just badly badly formatted plain text, such as live.com etc
  message-hook '%f htmlers | ~f @no-reply at cc.yahoo-inc.com | ~f @outlook.com | ~f live.com | ~f @facebookmail.com' 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/html text/plain'
