Ok not that I am arguing for any change just that while list-id or even 
to fields are quite nice solutions technically, they don't do what he 
wanted which was to allow him to sort list related email, including 
those email that are off-list but generated by a list email, which of 
course wouldn't have the header you alluded to.

Mind you munging subject lines isn't nessacarily going to fix that either.
