That's what I was alluding to with the exposing information comment.
For those kind of situations (where the list is the conveyance rather
than a real list), I fall back onto subject parsing and even in extremis
bayesian filtering. But I guess even I might have to resort to list-ids
if I have to but for regular list traffic and especially for svn commit
traffic I've never had enough flexibility with List-Id.
Mind you, I especially dislike the way this mailing list is set up which
collects cc's like lint.
