Thunderbird filtering problem

[Oscar]

I don't use thunderbird anymore (I use sylpheed, but the concepts are the same), but here is how I do it:
For the kubuntu mailing list, the rules is if a mail has kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com as "To" or "CC", move it to the folder kubuntu-user, and the same method for ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com, but the mail is moved to ubuntu-user, instead.
Sylpheed also handles List-ID in a nice fashion, and it might be better than simply sorting by To or CC, since someone can have both ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com and kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com as recipient - and I'm sure thunderbird can handle it in some similar way.
