Is this note enough?

Tags at the start of the Subject line work pretty well (though they can 
change occasionally).

That depends on what's effective for you, I'm afraid. I read/skim 
everything (except Users), so I might not need as much filtering as you.
In my experience, marking/muting a thread works about as well as for 
regular e-mail threads -- the linearity is suboptimal, but not that bad.
