Hi:
An email program should be able to sort with the To line or the Reply To
line. These are unique and not used by any other mailing list.
Putting tags really clutters up the index listings (I agree with Katherine
Thayer)
If your email program can't filter appropriately, please consider using an
email program that better meets your needs. (I filter with procmail and
read with pine)
