And that's what i'd expect.  I'm a bit puzzled by the official Help center
message i posted from GMail's site on the "mailing lists" issue.

Probably.  And i wonder if you set your POP mode to "new only", if you'd
stop seeing your maillist postings getting downloaded.  IIRC, POP Mode
"New Only" only pulls down stuff in Inbox that's newer than the running
timestamp.  From the Help center note, that message won't be in the Inbox
anymore, but will be in the All-Mail box.
