I use the "to:" and "reply to:" field to  sort them since in that field
normally has the listname in it. The few people who use bcc to send mail
(resulting in "reciepient list supressed") I can sort by hand. And I do agree
that the [Brin-l] tag clutters up the identifiers especially since not all of
us are neat or use a program that doesn't add extra "re:"s. I've had a
problem skimming through my mail as well. I now do it using searching for
keywords instead of using the inbuild threading in my mailreader because of
the cluttered tags.
