Mercurial list

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

I'm on about 15 mailing lists. While I can use the headers and procmail
to shunt mercurial mail into a separate mailbox, the end result will be
that I never read it. The problem with header-only information is that
the email user agent cannot display it. In the absence of knowing what
the mail is about (which is the whole point of a subject line) I cannot
prioritize which mail to read when.
