My recipe is now:

:0
* ^X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org>
debian

:0
* ^From debian-user-request@lists.debian.org
debian

But I still get messages that fail these tests from:

 Colin Telmer <telmerco@telmer.com>
 "Rev. Joseph Carter" <knghtbrd@earthlink.net>
 Martin Schulze <joey@kuolema.Infodrom.North.DE>

However, the full headers don't look like they came from the mailing list!
There's no X-Mailing-List line at all!

e.g.

This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand

Can anyone compare this recent message and tell me whether it looks the
same to them (no X-Mailing-List header)?
