If you have My Groups enabled, you can highlight a topic as a 
favorite. When reading a thread, click on the star near the upper 
left corner of the screen under the subject header.  This will add 
that subject to your favorites.  Then to see your favorite topics, 
click "favorites" at the top of the page, toward the right-hand side.

In an email client, you can set a filter that dumps messages from a 
list that don't match specific keywords into the trash or an archive 
folder.
