This is untried as I only use squirrelmail when I am behind draconian firewalls that dont allow imap or ssh and usually use procmailfor filtering, however in the options menu, select filters then new, then choose to match a header that contains *List-Id:* User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> and move it to where you want it moved to. Like i say untested but I cant see why it wont work.
