Filtering by subject is not a very good idea. It's much better to use the 
header that's specially intended for the purpose.

In kmail, if you right-click on an email and select "Create Filter->Filter on 
mailing list", a filter will automatically be created that filters on the 
mailing list header. Then you can be sure that only list mail go to the 
folder, and nothing else (in particular, you can immediately see if an email 
was sent to the list, or to you directly, so you don't inadvertently reply 
on-list to private email)
