In KMail, you just set "keep replies in this folder" on the folder
properties (because, of course you keep your list posts in separate
folders :-) ), and that takes care of mail within threads.  It would be
more difficult to get _initial_ posts into the folder, because I don't
think you can automatically execute a filter on outgoing mail (I could be
wrong - I haven't wanted to do it, but a quick look at KMail shows nothing
obvious).

Not _entirely_ true.  A filter can pass a mail to a pipe, so strictly you
could have the pipe add a label header and drop the mail back into Inbox. 
iirc, this is exactly how the spam filters work.  Still, it's something
that would be much more usable if a simpler hook was provided for the user.
