So you're deliberately making things worse for others because they
didn't choose what you wanted. I don't know how it is in your place but
in mine it's called being a dick.
And BTW - I do have a separate email account just for mailing lists but
it's still unreadable when you have 15 threads instead of one.
If you think it clutters your inbox - do as you said - make a folder and
filter. If you want to mute a thread - there are plugins for that to
i.e. Thunderbird.
And argh, on other lists I'm subscribed to even non technical persons
are able to properly use the thread system - why is it so hard to do
this here where people should represent something more?
I'm not voting for changing the tool. I'm voting for not misusing the
things we already have.

I move to a separate folder that effectively is a trashcan, and I read
the topics via the mailman
archive site where I cut and paste parts into a new mail message every
time.
So no threads from me.
I don't like mailing lists. At ALL. Precisely because thread
management is so difficult,
uninteresting threads cannot be killed, and traffic comes in between
normal mail.
I would propose setting up a small USENET server with one or a couple of
groups and then
use a newsreader to read and reply to the threads.
But that is apparently considered old-fashioned as well by some, and
newer methods
are considered unacceptable.
So, no change. Live with it. Make a processing rule in your mailclient
that dumps the 44net
mail in a separate folder, so your Inbox is left clean.
