The only problem with that is that anyone can send you a mail with a
list-id header containing some encoded chars that you would not want
procmail to put verbatim into a file or folder name. A slightly safer
solution is (from http://jmtd.net/log/list_filtering/)
:0
* ^List-Id:.*debian.*lists\.debian\.org
{
:0
subst=| echo "$MATCH" | sed 's/\([A-Za-z0-9-]\+\)\..*/\1/'
:0
$MAILDIR/$subst/
}
(note that my variation also removes dots, you may wish to tweak).
