How would you do that in a way that doesn't alter the sort order of the 
messages or screw up subject threading if you reply but lets you know 
the associated list?  And will it still work when you POP a copy onto a 
treo or similar smart phone?

And while we are on the filtering subject, the one thing I would like to 
have modify the sort order or priority is whether a message is in a 
thread where I have responded earlier.  Are any mailers smart enough to 
catch those even in the cases where the replies are forced to the list 
and don't end up showing a CC: for me?
