Some mail clients will allow better presentation filtering based on $SUBJECT.

That's interesting, I thought people were perhaps using them for
visual filter ("I see that is part of this list by the subject line"),
but I didn't know you could get a different presentation filtering. So
this would be different than moving it to a folder? Is it something
automatic?
(I usually use reliable headers, such as x-been-there, for filtering
mailing lists, since subject lines are inconsistent. Also, I tend to
avoid [Listname] in the subject because it's always a prefix, which
shortens how much of the actual subject is visible in the mail client.)

It's a mailman setting

I usually use List-id header to filter. There is benefit both ways as
mentioned here. I don't have an overly strong opinion either way.

Right, the [Listname] in the Subject is configured in Mailman. I was
wondering what the mail client presentation filtering is that Doron
referred to.
I usually use List-id header to filter. There is benefit both ways
as mentioned here. I don't have an overly strong opinion either
way.
I personally don't like them and strip them out (Mailman sets it up
automatically), but I'm going to vote +0 here because I also get the
value of a list name in a Subject when the email goes to the Inbox. (I
filter out other lists but e.g. infra@ goes to my inbox, which I do
with important lists I focus on throughout the day.)
