I find it's always much more reliable to filter on one of the mailing
list headers that the software adds.  For this list I have a rule that
checks that the "Mailing-List:" header contains "cygwin".  Some lists
use "List-ID:" or "X-Mailing-List:" so you have to look at the raw
source.  But doing it this way is very reliable, and doesn't depend on
any of the TO or CC or FROM fields which can sometimes be weird (like if
someone BCC'd the list or whatever.)
