The `Sender:' header  is the easiest way to do this. R-help messages have
a header line

Sender: owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch

I don't know how to test for this in Outlook, but it shouldn't be too
hard.

The obvious solution, checking for the help list address in To: or Cc:
doesn't work easily because there are too many aliases. It turns out that
checking for the string r-help in To: and Cc: works pretty well. I use
this approach to work with the crippled mail filtering system that UW
provides.
