Yes you can: 1. Create a new folder, using whatever name you want (for the purposes of this tute I'll use Ubuntu UK List) 2. Go to Tools, then Message Filters. 3. Click New 4. Give it a name (Ubuntu UK List Filter) 5. 'Match any of the following' 6. Subject -> Contains -> '[ubuntu-uk]' for the Ubuntu UK list (this one) 7. Move Message To -> Ubuntu UK List (via dropdown) 8. Click OK 9. Click on Run Now (after selecting the filter) and that should be it! AFAIK these filters run automatically, but you might want to check.
