This is something I've seen discussed _very_ actively once or twice, on
the ClassicCmp.org maillist.
One problem that I've seen, with adding something like DEB at the
beginning of the subject line, is a subject that turns into:
Subject: RE: [DEB] RE: [DEB] RE: [DEB] RE: [DEB] RE: [DEB] How do I...
So I just have Netscape here filter messages by what's in the TO: or
CC: field, and send them to seperate folders. The filter for this is...
if the To: or CC: field contain lists.debian.org, move it to the Debian
folder. Works just dandy.
