 Virtual Folders.
 
 I use VM mode in EMACS, but I believe some other mail readers have the
 same functionality.
 I have a virtual folder called nfs which shows me all mail in my
 inbox which has the string 'nfs' or 'lockd' in a To, Cc, or Subject
 field.  When I visit that folder, I see all mail about nfs, whether it
 was sent to me personally, or to a relevant list, or to lkml.

Hm (googling around for mutt and virtual folders): looks like I can
get most of the way there in mutt with some macros based on its limit
command:

I'd be curious for any pointers on tools, actually.  I read (ok, skim)
lkml but still overlook relevant bug reports occasionally.
(Fortunately, between Trond and Andrew and others forwarding things it's
not actually a problem, but I'm still curious).
