Right. If one wishes to use the "List-Id:" message header to filter the messages, don't be lazy when setting it up like I was. 
Use only the actual list-id portion of that header which is contained within the angle brackets, "<" and ">". For this list, 
that value is "user.lists.gambas-basic.org". Note that that is different from what is in the "To:" header which is an actual 
email address.
