The message may have all four mailing lists in the address headers, in 
which case all four copies will be filed into the first folder, and 
none into the others.  I had this problem with IETF announcements that 
were cc'd to the working group lists -- I ended up with two copies in 
one folder, and none in the other.  I fixed this by looking at Sender 
and envelope sender.

Also, a message may have been bcc'd to the list.  For example, here at 
work people often send mail to a large internal list, and in order to 
avoid inadvertent reply-to-alls, the list is actually bcc'd.
