But there is a more reliable way than looking at the To: From: or CC:
lines.  Every message posted on the list has the following lines in
the header:

  X-Mailing-List: <help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu> 
  X-Loop: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu
  List-Post: <mailto:help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu>
  List-Help: <mailto:help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu?subject=help>
  List-Subscribe: <mailto:help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu?subject=subscribe>
  List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu?subject=unsubscribe>

I usually filter on the X-Mailing-List line.
