I agree that creating email filters is not difficult, but it still takes time, especially when one must create filters for every mailing list to which one subscribes.
Assuming that mail filters are accurate, why couldn't mailing list servers automatically filter messages and categorize or label them (perhaps in the subject) based on their content? I look forward to the day when my email client can magically associate, categorize, and/or label messages that contain related content. In any case, I'm leading this thread off-topic, so I'll stop here.
