Well, in Pegasus Mail I filter on "users_at_subversion.tigris.org"
somewhere in the headers it that does it. If I wanted to be really
smart I would do it like Arturo 'Buanzo' Busleiman (though in
conjunction with the Reply-to setup - or rather the lack of it - of the
subversion lists users of Gmail don't necessarily get the List-
headers at all as Gmail censors the mail by deleting the copy from
the list in favor of the B/CCed copy). I admit that it is a nice thing,
but I still say that list-id would only be really useful if list-
unsubscribe would also result in a remove the filter.

Freedom quote:
Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials
shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands
to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government
will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously.
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher.
For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.
Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker,
it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law
unto himself; it invites anarchy.
