:0 HB:
* sun-managers at sunmanagers.ececs.uc.edu
* SUMMARY
sun-managers-summaries

The HB means to look at both the header and the body - probably not
what you wanted, but it is what you asked for.

Note that `* sun-managers at sunmanagers.ececs.uc.edu' isn't that good of
a thing to search for, because it'll catch things that aren't to the
list.  For example, if somebody emails you asking about
`sun-managers at sunmanagers.ececs.uc.edu', it'll catch it, even though
it doesn't belong there.

A better rule would be this -

::
* (^TOsun-managers at .*ececs.uc.edu|^Sender: owner-sun-managers)
* ^Subject: SUMMARY
sun-managers-summaries

And an even better rule is probably this -

::
* (^TOsun-managers at .*ececs.uc.edu|^Sender: owner-sun-managers)
/dev/null
