I don't think that's actually fair to say, though.  The number escapes
me at the moment, but there's an RFC that defines a number of  headers
for mailing lists.  AFAIK all of the mentioned mail clients honor
those, i.e. they all conform to the standard.  Some have additional
means to decide whether something is or is not a mailing list...
