After I realized that (months later), I changed the way I filter my email. Almost all mailing lists automatically include the "Mailing-List" header and/or special headers from RFC 2369 in every message. I use these headers for a primary filter for all messages sent to mailing lists. Additionally, I have a secondary filter that uses the subject line marker, e.g. [eBird], for people that like to reply off-list to my mailing list messages. I assume that everything else is personal email. There are times when people reply to my messages off-list and there is no subject line marker. These messages end up in my personal email folder. Sometimes they are personal messages, and sometimes I manually move them to the correct mailing list folder. I once deleted an offer to interview for a very good position for this very reason.
