It's one of mutt's strong points. It's one of the main reason's I
haven't gone looking for a new GUI mailer.

Procmail :-). Here are a few relevant examples :
------------------------------------------------------
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/filteredinbox
################################################################################
## Debian
# debian-python

* ^.*debian-python@lists.debian.org
=lists/debian-python
# debian-user
:0:
* ^.*debian-user@lists.debian.org
=lists/debian-user
------------------------------------------------------
I haven't gotten around to changing my matching to use the
X-Mailling-List: header. At the top I have a rule that dumps stuff
with my address in To: or Cc: to an "inbox" folder which includes
messages to the list that are cc'd.
