Grr, touch screens.
Anyway, I'm not losing sleep over it, my preference isn't a hugely strong one,
but it's definitely unusual to not have those.

My mail client(s) work just fine, thanks, and I've been running bug mailing lists
for two decades now, I di know how to sort mail. Everyone gas jumped to the conclusion
that I want subject tagging for automated sorting purposes, which is not the case. I know of quite a few that don't (and
they're quite popular lists). Lots of mail clients allow actions to be taken on
various header lines (such as To: cctalk at classiccmp.org), but that's maybe not the
best way to go about things.
There's a standard (RFC) for mailing list headers. For example, the CCTALK list
ALWAYS inserts
List-Id: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts"
<cctalk.classiccmp.org>
That's what you should use for filtering. If you can't, then it's time to
find a functioning mail client. :)
