You don't even need to have the whole line included. My filter just
looks for
to contains kubuntu-users
cc contains kubuntu-users

and it works.

Personally I always filter on the from: line and name the filter
with the same name as the mail folder that the filter is diverting them
to. Keeps life simple.

It really depends on the range of options which one's mail reader has at
its 'disposal' to use as parameters for message filters.

You are using Thunderbird and TB can use almost all of the fields found
in the message Header on which to create a filter, and not just the
Subject or From fields, - either as a single field or in combination
with others using the AND-OR approach. Just keep in mind that a filter
using multiple fields processes the parameters using the "from
top-to-bottom" sequence.
