I get too much mail to manually sort.

For automatic sorting, there's this great header:
List-Id: BLU general discussion list <discuss.blu.org>

Modifying the subject is also problematic for those of us who use 80
character wide terms... if you want to see the sender, the date, the
size, some flags, and some threading indicators, you're already running
out of room. "Re: [BLU] Fw: " is fourteen chars there.

Sorry to be a grouch.
