Thanks for the insight. I usually get an average of 2000 messages a day, and do use filters extensively, but with the sheer volume of mail and variety of subjects, I've found it to be more efficient to have lesser traffic listmail not going into other directories. Those will come into the main directory and then I can delete quickly from there.

All modern email clients that I know of let you filter your email into individual directories/folders. So, you can easily have a [smartlist] folder and a [photoshop] folder based on information in the headers that is already unique to that email list without adding extra text to the subject line (which I then have to strip off before I file my email).
