It is not universal, but it is nearly so. There are still some old lists
running old software that do not support I, but they are few enough that I no
longer have rules to catch those lists.

It's not, but it's fairly common. A few years ago someone posted a
strategy for procmail that handled almost any kind of mailinglist
software. I've translated that to the following sieve script (which, now
that I look at it, could probably do with a bit of optimisation):
# split out the various list forms
# Apparently, mutt-users has some odd format, so handle it specially.
if exists "list-post" {
if header :regex "list-post" "

It should be - RFC2919 defines it and at least mailman set's it.

I agree with Markus. It's what I do. This works well:
if header :regex "list-id" "solr-user.lucene.apache.org"
{
fileinto "asf.solr-user";
stop;
}
I do not know if List-ID is common to all mailing list software, but
even if it's not, there should be something available in the message
headers that you can use.
Thanks,
Shawn

I consider it a better idea to filter mailing list messages by their
List-ID header.
