Gosh, I get a lot of mail here that doesn't have anything resembling a List-ID header, and I don't recall every seeing the filter settings for my mail software (Eudora and NS Messenger) that offered to filter on that header, so I can't accept your contention that filtering on other fields is "incorrect."
Point taken. If list-ID exists, it is what you should use to filter list mail on. not all list servers support list-ID yet, but the right answer is to encourage them to follow the standards, and you should.
That is the same as my saying that the nickname derived from Charles is "Chuck" and that "Chuq" is wrong.
Of course, some folks have, in fact, tried to have that discussion with me... Not that it worked.
