This works mostly, but again a few people have a Resent-Sender added
to their mail before it goes to the listserver, and they then slip
through. I've found the X-Mailing-List header to be the most reliable
way of sorting. (Of course, if debian's listserv added a received:
header that told for whom the message was received, I might key off
that as I do for some non-debian lists).
