Maybe it wouldn't make *your* life easier. But because it's visual, it
allows me to more easily discern relevance when I put more than one list
together in a mailbox. A certain subject in one list would be more
relevant to me than the same subject in another.

I use Outlook so I don't have a lot of options for sorting like some
other apps do. The question was asked; I answered it.

I don't expect the policy will change, so I'll eventually find another
visual way to deal with it.
