This is also helpful for mailing lists that don't use List-Id headers, since the rules sorting messages on arrival can target whatever arbitrary header fingerprints work for a particular list.</p>

<p dir="auto">In Mail.app I had similar rule setups to redirect. I may end up forgoing the smart mailbox for mailing lists altogether, and instead file them into their own folders… The <em>Unread</em> smart folder is <em>fantastic</em> in that it aggregates by which folder things are unread <em>in</em>, so I can quickly find a folder for a mailing list post-filing.</p>
