Use Mail's rules to detect mailing list replies

I had some spare time so I decided to browse some mailing lists I had subscribed to. And keeping track of replies can be hard if you don't browse lists daily. So I created this rule in Mail.app:

If [all] conditions are met :
[To] [Contains] some.list@listserver.org
[Subject] [Contains] Re
[Message content] [Contains] YourName

Then I added some Actions to it. I used a color and a sound, as seen in this screenshot.

Notes:

Now you don't have any reason NOT to subscribe to mailing lists. And maybe we could share some other cool Mail.app rules in this thread?
