I've noticed this for a while with lilypond-user - like you, it's one of the minority of the mailing lists I'm on that *doesn't* use the subject prefix convention, so it's much less easy to do an eyeball-filter/scan as you describe. Colin's suggestion of filter rules to put things in different folders is fine, but that approach just doesn't work too well for me. I prefer to read (or at least scan) everything as it comes in - if the email's automatically sent off to another folder, I find I can just forget to check that folder.
Just had a look at the options available in TB rule-triggered actions: Move message to Copy message to Forward message to Reply with template Mark as read ( left unread by default) Add star Set priority to Tag message and others.You can probably set up quite a sophisticated filtering system with a few mouse clicks: have some messages go to a folder (the folder name gets bolded while it contains unread mail, which is the visual cue to look in the folder), a subset of those messages could light up in a category relevant colour, others get copied to folder 2, still others get forwarded and deleted. The whole thing would become a very fast way of scanning your mail for noteworthy (oops, I meant LilyPond!) related stuff.
