Anyone reading this thread might also be interested in the following
essay, which describes the pros and cons of various methods for
filtering list email:

http://david.woodhou.se/reply-to-list.html

Its thesis is that "the best way to filter list traffic is actually on
the Return-Path."  That's what I do (when the list actually provides
such a header).  So, this change won't affect my own filtering rules.

Filtering based on the Subject is of course a common tactic when the
list adds a tag to the Subject, but most lists I've seen don't do that,
and it isn't discussed in that essay.
