In any serious, non-toy mail client you can sort your mail by any of Date, Size, Sender, Receiver, Thread or Subject line. More powerful mail clients should allow automatic filtering of messages into subfolders, hiding or muting threads, and displaying or hiding messages based on text searches. I've seen some that also allow you to add your own custom topics, like "Work", "Personal" etc. The bottom line is that email can be sorted, filtered, shuffled, sliced and diced in an almost infinite number of ways. If your email client isn't good enough, blame the tool, not the technology.

But the main things from my perspective are: - stable web URLs for archives; - better searching; - a web interface that allows posting as well as reading posts. My guess is that most people who aren't happy with email will care about the web interface, Hyperkitty. https://pypi.org/project/HyperKitty/ https://duffy.fedorapeople.org/presentations/libreplanet%202014/Hyperkitty2.pdf Demo: https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/ -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
