Interesting method, but not exactly for what I'm trying to do. I also
use TO_ for regular list sorting. But now I want to "deliver list
postings from specific addresses", ie userIdontlike at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, to
a special maildir, separate from the regular list postings, easy enough:

:0
* ^Sender.*crater.dragonfly.com
* ^From.*userIdontlike at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
dragonfly-special/

The hard part is filtering all the replies (ie all the messages that
have a mesgid in their References: header that matches a mesgid of a
mail filtered to dragonfly-special/. :-\
