(First time doing "reply all" without culling duplicate recipients :)

First - I agree with your reasoning. I get around to read my mailing
list folders much less than my inbox.

Somehow GMail seems to be able to do that - When I take part in, or
start, a mailing list thread which is filtered to another "folder"
(tagged with mailing list tag using a GMail filter) GMail will start
showing this thread *also* in my inbox. I think it has something to do
with

It happens to me with CentOS mailman lists, for instance, but also
with many other mailman lists.

Maybe you can figure out how it does that and replicate it

Anyway - thanks for brining this mailing list to current standards.
