This is why I still let a tab in my browser to be squat by GMail that shows only the traffic sent to this mailing list, as it is very good at surfacing a thread with new activity even though it is bad at everything else, including threading. For real work, picking messages up and responding to them, I read and handle the list traffic via NNTP interface to public-inbox (and lore.k.o these days), but keeping GMail purely as a notification channel has its uses ;-).
