Frankly, I disagree. I do receive legit private messages, forked off of
an on-list thread. From various mailing-lists. I would not want them to
be filtered into a dedicated list folder. For that reason, Subject based
filtering is wrong, and the proper mailing-list headers do a perfect job
here.

It is an off-list reply. It doesn't belong in the list folder.

Well, I'd prefer to drop the Subject tagging. But this decision isn't my
call on this list. :)

If it bugs me enough, I can always drop it locally. The procmail recipe
to accomplish that was the important point of my previous post. I didn't
argue about the tagging itself.
