Make mailing list rule 1.0

Make mailing list rule is an AppleScript that enables you to make a new rule for a mailing list.

This script will create a folder for a mailing list, and create a rule to move incoming messages for that list into the folder, only if no folder or rule of the same name already exists. It makes the rule the second rule in the rule list--this is because many people have a kill file rule as the first rule.

The script makes the assumption that the To recipient is the list address. If that is not the case, do not use the script for that list. Unfortunately, there is no one characteristic common to all mailing lists that a script can use.
