Maybe, just maybe, you can filter through e-mail adresseses instead
of subjects.

This works until someone's reply to your posting is sent directly to
you instead of to the mailing list. In order for the reply to be
threaded properly with other messages in the thread, it needs to be
put into the same folder. An easy way to direct it to a folder is
basing your rules off some characteristic that message it originally
had (i.e. the subject). I tend to agree that it would be nice if the
mailing list had a subject prefix like most other mailing lists. If
not to sort mail, at least to be able to categorize it mentally
should you not classify your mail into folders.
