Evo allows you to filter on mailing-list headers where they exist. It
also enables a bunch of list-specific actions such as Message->Reply To
List (Ctrl-L) plus those under under Message->Mailing Lists (subscribe,
get archives, contact the owner, post etc.), all of which only make
sense in the presence of mailing-list headers. What else do you want it
to do?
