Using return-path is a bit like paying attention to what mailbox a postal
letter is dropped into.
looking for ietf-announce in the recipient list works better.
The recipient list is a pretty poor way to deal with things when you
get mail sent to multiple lists you're on, and often the To: line ends
up with nothing at all. The Return-Path: is generally the surest way
to know which of the lists each of the messages was sent to. I've
tried lots of things over the years, and Return-Path: is what works
the best. I'm on a few hundred mailing lists so the matter is somewhat
important to me.
