True dat. Also, once you have your lists sorting themselves, you
might find yourself annoyed by lists that prepend crap to Subject:,
since that wastes prime visual space in your mail reader. For such
lists I use an "unmunge-subject" script from the appropriate .qmail
file. E.g., for Bruce Guenter's nullmailer:

     | unmunge-subject '\[nullmailer\] ' | tomaildir ./Maildir/.bgware

The "unmunge-subject" script is basically:

     822headerfilter sed -e "/^Subject: /s/$1//g" \
         -e '/^Subject: /s/Re: Re:/Re:/g'

(Note that this requires qtools for 822headerfilter and tomaildir.)
