If I could get Balsa to actually match a list-id tag, I would.

I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to phrase it and never  
got a single message moved out of the inbox (imap or local), so I gave  
up and wrote a python program.

It would be nice if I could get balsa to check how many new messages  
are in each folder at startup time without me having to click on each  
folder before it notices "hey, my cached metadata is stale!" and  
reparsing the mbox file. But so far, I havent' found a way to get it to  
do that.

(Balsa honestly seems to store total/unread message count in the  
~/.balsa/config file, meaning it's rewriting this file constantly and a  
power failure or kernel panic at just the wrong time can make it forget  
where my mail server lives. Oh well.)
