so you don't read many mailing lists, else you would move incoming
mail automatically to the according folder. Since every mail in my
"ML_Subversion" folder would contain this tag, it wouldn't add any
useful information.

But for example [pmwiki-users] hides valuable information from the
subject in my ML_PmWiki folder...

Again, IMO it's mandatory to use separate folders for mailing lists.
Any reason against this?
