While I agree with you that sorting is probably possible on any client, it is really nice when the tags are in place. They make things much cleaner when the occasional e-mail jumps through the hoops because of a slight change in the addressing scheme. If I can set my filter to look for any instance of [Info-Cyrus] in the subject line, then everything that is supposed to go to that folder goes and nothing else. While some subject lines do get a little messy, it is easier for a person to jump past all of the junk in the subject line than to move messages between folders. This is the only list that I know of that does not add a tag to the subject line and I have always thought that it was a little weird and wished it was there.
