Actually not entirely true. Most mail clients on Microsoft cannot filter on 
other than the standard exposed headers (eg. From:, To:, cc:, and 
subject:). 
This list is generally easy to filter when people use to or cc, but when 
someone uses bcc, it becomes difficult with Windows mail clients. I am 
not aware of any that can filter on the unexposed headers, such as 
X-List-Info, which appears to be stripped by exchange. 

BTW: I'm sending this with discuss at blu.org set up as a bcc with Mike in 
the to: header (Mike, sorry for the duplicates). 

In any case, I threw this up as a trial baloon, and it does appear that 
severl people object.
