Got to get away from gmail. No list reply feature.
Get away from the web interface. Install Icedove/Evolution/Mutt and use
Google's IMAPs interface.
I use Alpine but the important thing when using imap with gmail is to
limit the size of the folder, I've something like 15,000+ messages tagged
Debian in gmail and opening that lot up as folder using imap a) takes
forever b) is enough to crash alpine on my shell account. Google labs have
a feature that allows you to limit the size of an imap folder (I have it
set to 2,000).
