My procmail recipe, which does not use the Subject: line:

:0:
* ^List-Id: .* <full-disclosure.lists.netsys.com>
/home/lupe/Incoming/full-disclosure

I prefer to use List-Id because the list might change the insertion
of the list tag in the SUbject: line, but List-Id: is generated by
the list software which normally changes very infrequently.

PS: Since I file each mailing list in a separate file, I find the
    list name tag in the Subject: line redundant.
