Agreed. I use Procmail and it filters this out just fine w/:

:0:
* ^TO_gnome
$INCOMING/gnome.spool

However, if the list is polluted w/ subject line identifiers, the best 
way to handle it is to use Gnus and use the remove-list-identifiers as 
in:

(setq nnmail-list-identifiers
      '("flexfax: " "\\[s-x86\\] " "AW: " "     " "mysql: " "\\[WM\\] "))
(add-hook 'nnmail-prepare-incoming-header-hook
	  'nnmail-remove-list-identifiers)

I now _never_ have any identifiers on any mailing lists I'm
on. Thankfully :)
