to get around that issue, what I do is that I added an afew rule that
checks for the presence of `List-Id` and if there is, it's automagically
adding the `ml` tag.

Then when comes the time for searching, you can just select all mails
that has a to/cc of gnu.org and the tag ml (which will exclude your
direct correspondence with gnu members ☺).

You can also add the content of the List-Id as a tag, but that can be
dangerous… You never know what can of crazy 1000 characters thing you'll
get in a spam (because some spamlists are using the `List-Id:` header!)

HTH,
