This mailing list uses dedicated tags in the subject line.
Just set your e-mail client to filter by the tag into different
sub-directories.

Then you don't have to look in (for example) BuildRoot/BR_Patch
directory unless you want to.  ;)

Same with commit, bug and autobuilder messages.

No, I am not trying to be stubborn, it is just a system that the
developers are comfortable with.

I find (I am a 99.9% read-only ML member) a bit of e-mail filtering
helps a lot in dealing with the flood of information here. ;)
