|   3. nothing on 1 list that is manually administered :-(

Doesn't that manually-administered list rewrite the From_ line at least?
That's virtually indispensable.

hmm.. time to display my ignorance here. I've just grepped my mail
directory and the only instance of "From_" is in messages that you wrote.

   grep "^From " mbox

Should give you the From_ header (_ = space).  I've been on a couple
of lists that rewrite the headers to look as if they came from the
actual listowner (some ISPs set it up this way, not sure why), so
I was trapping the list owner's personal mail to me as well.  Not
so bad, but I was converting it into a web-based archive.  :)
There was _no_ way to tell if it was the list's mail or not.
