Yes. I do something similar and we both use the same email client,
though I think your version might be newer than mine (:

My point was though, that one might not want a one list per
mailbox, or one list per label/tag filtering model and in such
cases the possibility of sorting the message list per
list/label/tag becomes interesting again.

Was just mentioning an area in which the subject annotation could
be used in a way that (in most clients) is not facilitated by
header contents. I'd prefer to do this with lables than with
subject annotations, but sometimes there aint enough labels to go
round.
