[mythtv-users] What email client are you using?

I don't know how others handle their mail in Gmail.

But what I typically do is add a star to any thread I'm interested in
or replied to(this isn't automatic). Then I may keep it in my inbox or
I'll archive it and then if there is a response to it, Gmail moves it
back in to the inbox. The sort order is by date:time newest being on
top. I'm not sure if there is a different sort order available  as I
haven't been able to find it.

All unread messages have bold subjects.

The threading is excellent cause you only have one entry in the inbox
for a thread.

The archive feature that Gmail offers makes it nice to have your own
personal mailing list archive to search thru.

If you'd like, I can invite you so you can test it out.
