The point here is that it would be nice as well as professional if one could automatically filter and view email according to a single convention which most of the other lists have done. In my view, using "Re subject" when "subject" can be anything is confusing and blank "subject" makes no sense to me at all.
I use (and will continue to use) THUNDERBIRD for Linux, MS, and other email correspondence. Perhaps someone could suggest how I might bridge this problem with Debian email.
I filter on the X-Mailing-List header. I'm using MacOS Mail, but I know you can do this in Thunderbird as well. You may have to add it as a custom header. The actual rule I'm using is "X-Mailing-List contains
debian-user@lists.debian.org"
Most mailing lists that don't do subject-munging include *some* sort of unique header you can filter on, although I've run into a few annoying exceptions.
