Definitely a step up from Outlook :-)

python-list reflects and is reflected by the comp.lang.python newsgroup  
(and gmane, etc).  People on the newsgroup side won't add [tags] for you,  
and won't thank you for breaking the minimal threading that can be  
inferred from titles if the list reflector adds stuff unexpectedly.

.. yeah, no.

Let's not screw up everyone's life to help those who are using _Gmail_
who don't want to take advantage of Gmail's capability to PERFECTLY
filter the group into a folder without it.

You /just/ depend on Gmail? You want to infringe on everyone else so...
you can... _avoid_ er, using your client to sort your mails into a
folder/label? Gee, thanks, no.

Click on this message.

There's this "Show Details" button that appears at the top of it. Click
that.

Then there's this line that says "mailing list", followed by
"python-list.python.org"

Then there's this super easy link added right next that you can click.

Voila, it fills out everything you need have just Gmail, depend just on
Gmail, and sort your messages in a very usable way, without screwing
with everyone else and stealing away their valuable horizontal space.

Nor have I, but according to the manual it can handle mailing lists
perfectly well.  mutt has been around for a while.

Not sure what your beef with Outlook is, but it does know how to
filter messages appropriately.
