Okay, I see what you're saying. But it's not a duplicate if you just
check for "From contains questions@freebsd.org", because that matches
both "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" and "questions@freebsd.org".
What I'm saying is that all messages from the list will have a unique
List-Id header. For example:
List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org>
You can probably do something like
List-Id contains questions@freebsd.org
But I don't use Thunderbird enough to know for sure.
