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).
I keep my "current" D-User folder (relatively) small by having
maildrop filter emails into "quarterly" folders.
