I throw away stuff that has Received: lines beneath From:. 

I do not understand this one, could you please explain?

Well, it's not for you, and you can rather safely assume that stuff
that is not from a mailing list but still has To: equal to Reply-To:
is spam. 

IMHO, this is the one most useful sign than a message is spam. It
might be that I do not receive too much junk email, but checking the
To: field is the only thing my own junk filter does, and it cautches
I'd say about 99% of all junk emails.
