KMail 1.9.9 offers me the choice of filtering on list when I set up a filter 
for an email from a list.  I use this for all my lists.  I have not so far 
come across a list that KMail cannot filter in this way. 

In the case of the KUbuntu users list, KMail is presumably using the 
header "List-Id: Kubuntu Help and User Discussions 
<kubuntu-users.lists.ubuntu.com>"
