That’s why (the web interface of) Gmail includes an easy way to set up
a new filter for a mailing list.  You click on the little menu button
next to the “to” line below the subject line and then click “Filter
messages from this mailing list”. It’s not a particularly quick way of
setting up 90 filters, but I would imagine that receiving emails from
90 mailing lists in the first place is a bigger problem.
