well, i use mutt in order to handle the huge volume of emails.
but i pull mail from my pop3 server into a single folder without
presorting via procmail as many others do. i like to be able to
scan the subjects rapidly all in one folder and the only way to
quickly distinguish which list a particular message pertains to
is with those _ugly_ _outdated_ _useless_ subject line
identifiers. it would make my life _much_ less productive if they
went away...

frankly, i would think other issues of subject line 'abuse' would
be much more relevant than complaining about something that
actually _helps_ even a few people.

just another $0.02, er well, maybe $0.03...
