I agree with Angus that it's a bad idea to add a tag to subject lines, but I
find filtering on the To or List-Post headers to be best. Here's a snip from
my procmailrc, for procmail users.

:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/path/to/mail/lyx-users/

If you decide to filter on List-Post, the following (untested) should work.

:0
* ^List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
/path/to/mail/lyx-users/

Whether or not you happen to use procmail, the orginal poster's mail client
(Mozilla Thunderbird) can definitely filter on one of these other fields,
just look around in the documentation.
