My guess is that some client use primitive means like the subject, but
maybe there's some more header information that's useful, like
reference or in-reply-to. Again, I don't know much about headers.

So it would compare TO and CC with the list, and if it finds it, treats
it as list mail. Well, I guess for some of the 'treat as list mail'
things it might need some headers, but I really don't know.
