No, they're what you suggested. They're in double quotes so they can only be
literals.

If you're attempting to deal with mailing list traffic you might find it
easier and more reliable to try and identify it using a different header.
Take a look at this mail when you get it, for example. You'll see an
"X-list: linux-anyway" header in it which will confirm that this is list
traffic. In fact, that's the mechanism I use to divert traffic from this
list to the shitcan^W^W its own folder in my mailer :)
Take a closer look at the headers of a mail from the pine mailing list. I'm
sure you'll find something to identify list traffic fairly accurately.
