use filtering based on "To:" and "Cc:" header.
i'm using procmail and here are my rules:
:0: * ^To.*linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu mail/_kernel
:0: * ^Cc.*linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu mail/_kernel
just add thast to your .procmail (assuming your mail directory is ~/mail). i'm using pine on linux box.
if you have for example netscape mesanger (or how they call it) there (in preferences) is "Mail Filter" where you can sort e-mail based on rules like "where it comes from", "what's in the subject", "who it fos sent to", ...
just take a look at options of your mail client.
dincerely
