The point here is that it would be nice as well as professional if
one could automatically filter and view email according to a single

using "Re subject" when "subject" can be anything is confusing and
blank "subject" makes no sense to me at all.
I use (and will continue to use) THUNDERBIRD for Linux, MS, and
other email correspondence. Perhaps someone could suggest how I
might bridge this problem with Debian email.
I filter on the X-Mailing-List header. I'm using MacOS Mail, but I
know you can do this in Thunderbird as well. You may have to add it
as a custom header. The actual rule I'm using is "X-Mailing-List
contains debian-user@lists.debian.org"
Most mailing lists that don't do subject-munging include *some* sort
of unique header you can filter on, although I've run into a few
annoying exceptions.
