I tried

fcc-save-hook (mutt-users.*@mutt.org) =LISTS/appsoft/mutt-users-List
fcc-save-hook '~e "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"' =LISTS/appsoft/mutt-users-List

but it's becoming very tidious very fast and is not really the way to
go IMHO, esp when using procmail anyway. I have programmed some generic
filters for various list servers:
http://volker.orcon.net.nz/soft/procmail/
(the files named l_*.rc). The mutt lists then become

###
#       mutt-announce                                           majordomo
LISTNAME="mutt-anno"
LISTEMAIL="mutt-announce"
LISTSERVERDOMAIN="(mutt.org|gbnet.net)"
LISTFOLDER=$THISLISTS/$LISTEMAIL-List
INCLUDERC=$PROCDIR/l_majordomo.rc
###
#       mutt-dev                                                majordomo
LISTNAME="mutt-dev"
LISTFOLDER=$THISLISTS/$LISTNAME-List
INCLUDERC=$PROCDIR/l_majordomo.rc
###
#       mutt-users                                              majordomo
LISTNAME="mutt-users"
LISTFOLDER=$THISLISTS/$LISTNAME-List
INCLUDERC=$PROCDIR/l_majordomo.rc
###

which is supposed to catch all the list administrative mail as well
(subscribe etc). It doesn't work with all lists, there seem to be more
differences in server setup than are conveniently allowed, but I'm
working on it...

Using procmail has the advantage of being mailer-independent, if you
want to play around with others (or is saying that here heresy??).
