AFAIK this only happens when Evo sees a message with the List-* headers
which many (but not all) lists add to distributed messages. These
headers will not be there on new messages you send to a list (i.e. on
your copy of the sent message), only to correctly-formatted replies
(meaning those which were sent using Reply-To-List and not for example
Reply-To-All).

It has nothing to do with mailing list folders. Although many people
filter mailing list messages into folders for convenience, Evo doesn't
treat these folders as in any way special (though I've often thought
that would be a nice feature to have). That menu item is enabled when you're looking at a message with the 
List-* headers, that's all.
