Yes.

Procmail is truly worse than perl for allowing you to mess yourself up
multiple ways... by my reckoning all will work in 98+% of the cases.
My version(V4), do not pick up the announcements, but then that is
why they go to plug-announce, whereas the originally suggested technique
(V1) and, I believe V2 and V3 as well, put the announcements in the same
box as the mailing list.

I've been using....
V4----------------<cut here>-----------------------
# --------------                Phlia linux list
:0:
        * (^To:.*|^CC:.*)plug@lists
plug-box
----------------<cut here>-----------------------
and never had to make a change.

So then, the suggestions thus far:
V1----------------<cut here>-----------------------
:0:
* ^X-BeenThere:.*plug@lists.phillylinux.org
IN.plug
V2----------------<cut here>-----------------------
:0
* ^(From|Cc|To).*plug.*
Lists/PLUG
V3----------------<cut here>-----------------------
:0:
* ^Subject:.*\[Plug\]
PLUG
----------------<cut here>-----------------------
