Does Yahoo do your filtering? Looking at your message headers I don't see an "X-Mailer:" line, which is usually an indication of a webmail generated message, so whatever solutions are possible will have to work within Yahoo's system. It's possible that Yahoo is looking at the "Precedence: list" header line and the fact that list messages are addressed to "classicrendezvous@bikelist.org" rather than your name and using that to justify dumping it into bulkmail.

In any case, if Yahoo has a means for you to define your own filters, or whitelist addresses, you may want to create a filter rule to catch messages addressed to "classicrendezvous@bikelist.org" and stuff them into your inbox or whatever folder you prefer before the spam filter gets hold of them.

In general, I prefer an SMTP/POP3/IMAP based mail client over web mail because they tend to be much more versatile in that regard.
