I didn't know you were a gmail user. For gmail users, tags are shown
graphically (you can even choose colors) so you can create a filter that
adds an "ubuntu art" tag to everything that matches to:ubuntu-art.

A problem presents itself with people like yourself who follow 150 mailing
lists: it takes a lot of time to create 150 tag-filter combos.

I see two solutions to this: first, gin up an RFC to add a "tag" field to
email headers which can be used to visually tag emails in clients.
(Seriously, this is way overdue.) Second, update the listserv software to
allow users such as myself who do set up tag filters for mailing lists to
opt-out of the additional tag munged into the subject line.

Cheers,
Ryan
