Gmane does splitting for you! And more...

I have the following Gmane groups. They all
correspond to mailing lists but the interface
and organization is Usenet-like. There are many
advantages, the biggest compared to splitting
(except that it's automated and you don't have
to register at some web page etc) I'd say is
you don't by default get *all* the traffic to
your INBOXes and manually created groups. It is
less heavy handed, basically "just" an
awesome interface :)

However mail splitting can still be useful, as
can "real Usenet", and with Gnus, you can have
mail, Usenet, and Gmane in the same Gnus Group
buffer, all conforming to the same interface.

It is really as small miracle or at least
a very big programming achievement :)
