God, please no, there's little enough space in the subject line as
displayed on screens as it is. Filter by the X-Mailing-List: header into
separate mailboxes; this is quite easy with either procmail or exim
filters. In the devscripts package there are even examples that you can
copy.

Do a web search for "List reply-to considered harmful", or something
along those lines.
