I thread my mail in Apple Mail, and I also have a rule which moves incoming 
mail from the list into its own folder. The trouble with that is that some mail 
clients quote at the top of the body, and others quote below. That makes 
reading a long string of emails and quoted replies nearly impossible to figure 
out. 

There was some talk years ago about the practice of only quoting the relevant 
body text, and not every single reply with quote, and reply with quote of reply 
with quote, and every reply with quote of every reply with quote of every 
reply... you get the picture. After reading through 20 replies of the same 
quotes over and over and over all these years, well it's a miracle I have not 
been "committed" yet. But I do not think very many really got the memo. Still, 
that simple change in the way people reply to emails would relieve I think most 
of the pain people feel in using a list.
