That's why you have to use some other method to filter the freebsd-questions
mail to their separate folder.  I tend to prefer teh Sender: header, and I had
my rule set up like:

	MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
	DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox

	:0 H
	* ^sender: .*owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
	freebsd.questions

Which relies on the presence of a Sender: header in all the mail from the
majordomo of FreeBSD.org.
