As simple way to handle mailing lists in MM is to set up a separate smart mailbox for each list. In my experience, this takes a bit of effort initially but makes it easy to handle peculiarities of various lists, and there is no problem to view each list individually as well as all together. I have lists that have no list-id, for example, but use common prefix for subject. Some send emails from the list address, some use posters email as sender. All those smart mailboxes sit inside a smart mailbox “mailing lists” that has no other settings than the checkbox “include messages in any of the submailboxes” checked. I also have a smart mailbox “mailing lists new” that shows me only new messages from the “mailing lists”, new as incoming within last 24 hrs and not read yet.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I guess it makes sense, given the plurality of tools, and I just need to keep on refining my list of rules.

Although I may try to see if i can't file them into a newsreader such as NetNewsWire. It may be able to do the filing for me at minimal effort ...
