I clearly was unclear since I don't understand the question.  :-)

The above pick selects emails with one or more List-* headers.  The
`--othercomponent' bit of pick doesn't peer at the body, just the
headers.

I could have done «--list-id '$' -or --list-post '$' -or ...» but that
causes pick to apply multiple regexps, stopping when one works.  This
way, it's the regexp that's coping with the variations, and it handles
RFC-less List-To-Port too.
