[SGVLUG] Who /really/ knows procmaIl around here?

I've got procmail set up to separate "discussion list" messages as follows:

   :0
   * ^List-id:.*<some.list.id>
   .Discussion\ Groups.listname/

   :0
   * ^List-id:.*<another.list>
   .Discussion\ Groups.othername/

   :0
   * ^List-id:
   .Discussion\ Groups/

The last is a "catch all" that puts any message that comes from a list
into the top-level directory of my e-mail folders dedicated to list
management.  Whenever I join a new list, I essentially have to edit this
file to set a specific target other than "Discussion Groups".

What I'm wondering is, is there a way to have the procmail script look
for the actual ID and use that as the target?  Something along the lines
of this:

   :0
   * ^List-id:.*[look for text in "<...>"; extract up to first "." char]
   .Discussion\ Groups.[extracted item]

this would be my new "catch all" rule, so when I join a new list, I
don't specifically have to edit procmail unless I want to put this
somewhere else (such as this list -- I have it a couple levels down from
"discussion groups")
