I'm reading this list with gnus, an emacs-based news reader which
includes a mail-to-new converter called (?) nnmail.  The learning
curve, which I've been climbing for the past month, is a little steep.
But as is traditional for emacs tools, it does include the kitchen
sink.

In this case, the kitchen sink includes threading plus other
customizable methods for grouping mail, including a concept they call
"scoring".  This means you can set up criteria for increasing or
decreasing article (or email) scores based on keywords in headers or
content.
