Unfortunately, no, it won't.

Historically mailman has been configured to munge mails it
delivers, adding this subject prefix, converting HTML to
plain text. This causes problems with DMARC policy meaning
it also has to then rewrite the sender address, which means
we get bad patches merged with authors like

  Author: Justin Terry (VM) via Qemu-devel <address@hidden>

There's no answer to this problem that makes everyone happy,
but overall we came to the conclusion that the best strategy
is to stop modifying messages at all. You can read more
detailed background info in this thread:

You'll need to set a filter based on the "List-id" mail header
now.
