(if I do not recognize the sender or the subjet, that e-mail is _defined_ as junk, and it is deleted unread)
Most of the mailing lists I'm on work the way Squeak's does. I filter mail using a three-stage process: first check the "To:" field for the mailing lists I'm on, and categorize it that way. Then discard mail from known junk-email locations sent directly To: me, and finally sort the remaining mail based upon whether my address appears in the To: or Cc: fields or not, discarding mail that doesn't (the bulk of the junk-email, which uses Bcc).
This works very well for me, so I'd vote to keep the list fields as they are, which allows the original sender to be identified.
[BTW, I think we've been quite lucky that the Squeak mailing list hasn't been hit by any bulk spammers subscribing from throw-away accounts]
