For mailman lists I tend to use X-BeenThere instead. It is a more
useful format. Even though the presence of List-Id is standard the
format is less so.
Here is the procmail rule that I use for the GNU lists.
# gnu.org lists
:0
* ^X-BeenThere: address@hidden
* ^X-BeenThere: \/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+
$MAILDIR/Lists/gnu/$MATCH/
# nongnu.org lists
:0
* ^X-BeenThere: address@hidden
* ^X-BeenThere: \/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+
$MAILDIR/Lists/nongnu/$MATCH/
This automatically creates new mailing list folders as I subscribe to
them. This means that I do not need to do any other special
configuration when I subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list.
