I don't want to direct these messages about lyx to some special folder
(I can do that later if I wish). I just want to be able to tell at a
glance from the Subject showing in Thunderbird that the message is for
the lyx-users group.
As somebody else wrote, all the other mailing lists to which I belong
automatically include some sort of prefix in the Subject indicating the
list. E.g., [mg...] for mathgroup (Mathematica); [WinEdt] for
winedt+list; [yandytex] for the yandytex list at tug.

It's often difficult to tell from the subject along that this is
about lyx.
Murray,
Do you use procmail as your LDA? If so, a recipe like this (from my
recipe.rc file) works like a charm:
:0:
* ^to_.*lyx-us...@.*lyx\.org
LYX
And that's the file to which they are appended.
The OP's email indicated that he was using Thunderbird on Windows, so
he probably doesn't use procmail. However, Thunderbird, like almost all
pop mail clients allows you to define filter rules that will direct
lyx-user emails to a special folder.
