[MlMt] Grouping mailing lists

[Robert Brenstein]

If your mailing lists can’t be easily defined in a single smart 
mailbox with automatic split into submailboxes, you can reverse the 
process below and create a folder with no conditions but check to 
include all submailboxes, then inside create a smart mailbox for each of 
your lists. I had to do that because some of my mailing lists require 
multiple conditions to display them separately. In other words, the 
"Submailbox for each unique value of From/Name" or anything similar was 
too simplistic in my case. Hopefully, it works for you.

Tagging is indeed an overkill, although it works.
