I think what Maxim was alluding to is that any decent email client will
sort messages for you based on headers if you set it do do so. This way
you don't need to scan your entire inbox for messages from a particular
list and the "assumed context" can be a somewhat safe assumption.

Since you mention the conventions followed in other mailing lists, and
you read this one, perhaps you should note that top posting is
discouraged on this list, and messages are answered inline by the
developers (as your original one was). Just a thought.
