Shane's link to information about Outlook is with regard to the generic Rules 
... dialog.  

So I did a deep dive into Outlook 2010 Rules (which I use) and found that one 
of the options for selecting a message is "with 'specific words' in the message 
header".  I have clearly not understood what that was talking about.

So I created the rule that reads

Apply this rule after the message arrives 
  with 'List-Id: <[email protected]>' in the message header
  move it to the +ooo-user folder

I then disabled all other rules I use to filter ooo-user@ arrivals.  

And it worked.  

I even had some of the words out of place in the rule that I originally typed, 
and it still worked.  Not great (especially where I sometimes have several 
low-volume lists go into a single folder), but not bad either.  It is also 
permissible to put a list where I only provided one entry for 'specific words'.

I shall continue to experiment with the other nameless-subject ASF lists.

Note that all Apache mailing lists (i.e. from an @*.apache.org address) 
use the List-Id: header (set by our mailing list program, EZMLM), which 
will look like this for this list:

   List-Id: <ooo-users.incubator.apache.org>

P.S. Nearly all mail clients support filters quite simply these days:

Setting up filters for pine, mutt, and the like is left as an exercise 
for the reader.  8-)
