I use IMAP and either Thunderbird or KMail, depending on whether I'm 
checking my mail from work or
home, respectively. I have the privilege of using server side mail 
filtering using maildrop, so my mailing list
mail always appears in the right folder without any additional 
configuration on the client end. Here's my filter:

# --
# mythtv
# --

# mythtv-users at mythtv.org
if ( /^List-Id: .*<mythtv-users.mythtv.org>.*/ )
{
        to "$MAILHOME/.Personal.Mailing Lists.mythtv"
        exit
}

# ivtv-devel.lists.sourceforge.net
if ( /^List-Post: .*ivtv-devel at ivtvdriver.org>.*/ )
{
        to "$MAILHOME/.Personal.Mailing Lists.ivtv-devel"
        exit
}


Works 100% of the time!
