I disagree.  I often want to check the subject lines of new mail without
downloading it to the client.  Usually I want to see none mailing list
messages, so I pipe through grep: 'nfrm | grep -v LUG | grep -v
development'.   Without anything to grep on this list, I see all the
subject lines of messages I know I don't want to read.  To me, *that* is
clutter.

[I think you have to use the To: field, but I could be wrong.]
