I suppose I ought to have been more precise: the RFC822 mail headers
look exactly the same, and most standards compliant mail programs
(which excludes CC:mail) will show the mail like any other list mail.

I'm curious what field you are filtering on. The ONLY difference is the
RFC 821 (SMTP) MAIL FROM: (Which some mail servers will turn into
a Return Path: mail header, so that's a slight difference, but that is
usually hidden from the reader). Is that what you're filtering on?
