That doesn't always work when the list is CC'd to. It would be so
much easier if the list maintainer added it. I'm on a couple of
dozen lists and this is the only one without a subject tag. A mild
downside is that if people add their own subject tag and then reply
to the list, as I have, then we get the ugly build up of Re: Re:'s.

FWIW here's a maildrop recipe..

if ((/^List-Id: <bogofilter.*@aotto.com>/:h))
{
   /^Subject: *!.*/:h
   xfilter "/usr/bin/reformail -I'Subject: [Bogofilter] '\"$MATCH2\""
}
