I created a "Vanagon List" folder and use email rules and filters so
that all list mail goes automatically to that folder.  It never gets
mixed up with spam.

I think you're being a little too general in your assessment that those
that like the list mail are not forward thinkers.  I for one, bought an
Apple I computer back in 1976 when it came in a baggy with instructions
for how to build a case if you wanted one and instructions on how to
hook it to a tape recorder for storing programs as personal disk drives
were not yet available.  I've been upgrading ever since.
