Well, I think the philosophy is that List-ID exists as part of the standards for mail transport so a decent client would handle it. They would provide the ability to filter on that field. From what I recall when I went through this one purpose of the header is to allow you to filter without worring about changes in list addresses. I had that happen some time ago when gentoo's mail address changed. I was filtering on the From address and someone pointed the List-id out to me.

That's not the point though is it? - users shouldn't be *have* alter their setups to deal with this.
