I believe the 'best bet' is, usually, Where the To: or CC: Line contains. 
(you can also make a rule (I've made one called BCC) for those multi-posted 
messages to go into a certain designated folder, which you could call your 
spam folder.  (This is No. 6 of the 12 actions.)

Hi Jack,

I think the best bet for message rules is the subject line.  I don't think
your method is full proof.

Consider that if a person belongs to a large number of lists, and,
invariably, you will get talk on another list about another list, and
suddenly you find that other list's messages in the other list's folder, and
you lose track unless you're listening to the subject line.

Another example I can give you, is that the Blind Computing list makes
reference to the Jaws Users list in the footer, so what's to stop those
messages from going into my Jaws users folder?

You would literally have to be very attentive to the subject lines each and
every message.

I can cite more examples, but I think you get the idea.

In variably, most, if not all e-mail lists, will have the name of the list,
or some derivative in the subject line, so I think that would be your best
bet, as talk of another list in the subject line is very rare indeed.

Victor
