Under the new system (just the topmost entry, shown selected) every email comes from "ntg-context@ntg.nl" which is completely useless when you want to visually scan down the list for a particular person.

Late reply, but for the benefit of anyone looking through the archive, I traced the cause of my problem to an entry in Contacts that had ntg-context@ntg.nl as the email address and no other details. Apple Mail decides to use this instead of the From: header when displaying the mailing list emails.
