Most e-mail clients worth their salt can filter on other clues. This is especially true on Unix, unless you're looking right back to the command-line "mail" program (which these days is basically archaeology and something to script). It looks like you're using sylpheed. Instructions at http://sylpheeddoc.sourceforge.net/en/manual/manual-13.html#ss13.1 tell you how to filter on headers: you might care to look at "To:" and possibly "Cc:" headers (I don't run sylpheed any more, so I can't check). For more options than you can shake a stick at, try procmail. I use this rule in ~/.procmailrc with Maildir folders to grap list e-mail: :0 * X-loop: fedora-list@redhat\.com "Fedora List/" Given these options, the [fedora] subject prefix isn't actually that useful, tends to break on all the internation "Re: " strings, and takes up space that could be used to let us know what they e-mail's about. (Once the e-mail is sorted, we know that it's from the list, and the rest of the subject is more useful. This is especially true on console-mode mail clients, which tend to have less space for the subject anyway...)
