I have found it better to filter on Reply to: than on any part of the 
Subject: line, otherwise if somebody sends me personal email related to 
a post and doesn't fix the subject line, it ends up in the folder with 
all the stuff that came from the list -- which I don't always read 
immediately, and sometimes not at all.
