As you are viewing the email make sure you have the email header bar
expanded by clicking on the + sign next to "Subject" at the top of the
email. Next right click on the link in the "to" field in this case
"aklug@aklug.org" then you will see what you are looking for. That
should save you a few steps.

I've never used evolution so I don't know how it works but In
Thunderbird I like to set up filters so that it will label all my list
or forum emails different colors so I can easily spot them and identify
them as such. I also have the anti spam filters running and have
Thunderbird dump the spam into a separate folder labeled "junk"
automatically. Works great.
