I know of quite a few that don't (and
they're quite popular lists). Lots of mail clients allow actions to be taken on
various header lines (such as To: cctalk at classiccmp.org), but that's maybe not the
best way to go about things.
There's a standard (RFC) for mailing list headers. For example, the CCTALK list
ALWAYS inserts
List-Id: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts"
<cctalk.classiccmp.org>
That's what you should use for filtering. If you can't, then it's time to
find a functioning mail client. :)
