it's nice for visually filtering, yes.  if you don't visually filter,
it can be a pain.  as mentioned before, limited subject column space for
many a mail reader...

it would be really nice to be able to set this per user from the user
perspective.

better still i think would be a message header indicating what list
the message is from, client software that displays this header, and
peace on earth, and carp and perch and trout and ... bream ;-)
