My mail tool (thunderbird) has a default search above the messages.  
None of the default options "subject, sender, (subject & sender), body" 
allow me to easily filter the markdown emails.

Naturally I can open a search tool and do a search based on those 
headers, but it's not as convenient.

I subscribe to a lot of mailing lists and tend to rely on 
[mailing-list-name] appearing in the subject line to do my filtering.

I find that if I set up a script to filter automatically to another 
folder then I just end up not reading that mailing list.  At least 
that's my habit.

The [mailing-list-name] subject line addition is used in lots of 
places.  Is there a reason that some people don't like it?  Subject line 
gets too long?
