for myself: (C) I started sorting my inbound email into different folders on a per-list basis back in 1995 or so, and that predated RFC2919 List-Id (2001). So, I sort on To: or cc: fields having the list's email address (which can have minor annoying issues from time-to-time, but aren't a big deal overall). I've been doing this for so long that it never occurred to me to change my practice. Also, it seems support for RFC2919 List-Id is not universal even today -- some presently active lists I'm on don't employ that header field, tho a search across my archives reveals that such lists are in a distinct minority. Another aspect to this depends on what MUA folks use, as Murray alludes to. I.e. whether using list-id is even possible.
