With Communicator one can start using filters and (gasp!) digital
signatures.

Actually, I haven't had the time to set up my debian-user filters up.
So currently all the emails to this list get dumped into a folder for
future reading. A way of having meaningful subject lines could work.
But again, it would not if people did not follow the naming convention.
I emailed a post last week that went 'update-menus broken in 1.4?' In
retrospect I think I should have chosen a better subject line. How
about the following scheme -
[net] problem with communicator install
[x11] problem setting up fvwm2 menus
etc.
J/ my 2 cents.
