I use this method and it works very well for me. I subscribe to 4 lists and
each message is directed to the relevant folder. I also have folders for
other interests such as my Church and mail from my ISP.

You set it up using Tools > Message Rules > Mail.

This is how I set up my *London List* folder :=

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message body contains 'LONDON Mailing List'
or Where the To line contains ''
Move it to the London list folder

Regards
David Street
