While I appreciate everyone's suggestions I filter on other headers, I'm 
using Mozilla 1.3b as my MUA. It filters on the following:

Subject
Sender
Body
Date
Priority
Status
To
CC
To or CC (combined into one)
Attachment Size
Junk Status
Label

Okay. I take that back. It appears that I can customize my filters. Just 
noticed that.

Still, there is no reason to BCC the list. Not everyone has the ability 
to customize what their filters filter on (I'm sure there are more then 
a few Evolution and OE users on the list).
