Hi !
Sorting can be easily done, because any email from the list has such a header
(i pasted the interesting parts !):

I do my sorting of any of the email lists i am subscribed to on the sender
adress, which is for this list [EMAIL PROTECTED] There can't be any
other
source than this list with that adress except if redhat got hacked. Sorting
works perfect using Eudora. Yea, i do my mail on a winbox, coz i use both Win
and Linux and don't see much sense in spreading my mail over two systems.
You should be able to sort the mail with the information provided in the
header
with any halfway decent email client, i bet Netscape can do it for you or many
less huge programs i bet, too. If a win app can do it, it should be no prob
under Linux

To answer your reply as well:
Errrrrr, i bet you can still browse through the subjects when the mail is
sorted into different inboxes and imho it is far less work to have the emails
transferred automatically to the right inbox. I am subscribed to four mailing
lists (plus private emails) which cause that i receive about 230 emails a day
and hell no i don't read them all. After they are sorted i delete those who
don't seem to be attractive to me and the rest of them i read quickly and save
a few which are very interesting for me, so that i can read them offline, any
other mail i delete and it is stored in the list archive anyways
(X-Mailing-List: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archive/latest/9055 points to it).
This way of using email makes me get through this huge load of emails
within 20
minutes or less, nicely sorted and easy to access.
Just my 2 Pfennigs, feel free to do whatever way makes you happy.
