It may not be applicable, but back before I switched to usnig gmane
for reading mailing lists, I used a procmail script to sort mailing
list postings into their own folders and ran the messages through
formail to remove the tags.

These days I leave all my mail on an IMAP server, so that approach
wouldn't really work unless I could run procmail/formail on the
server.
