>     * ^((List-Id|X-(Mailing-)?List):(.*[<]\/[^>]*))

My understanding of this regular expression. Indulge me:

Message must begin with either List-Id or X-(Mailing-)List where the
Mailing- part is optional.
It must then be followed by a colon then anything up to a </ then anything
up to another >

So help me out a bit, I copied the line from Slug into a file and egrep did
not match slug's List-Id line!

List-Id: Linux and Free Software Discussion <slug.slug.org.au>

Why is the / in there? Why is the < in brackets what purpose does this
serve?
