[Design] request for mailing list manager

[Kaitlin Duck Sherwood]

I'd like to request a mailing list manager for Chandler, much like 
the one in Outlook Express for Mac.  (It isn't in the Windows 
version, don't bother looking.)

A mailing list manager helps the user a little bit directly, but can 
help the user and developers a *lot* indirectly.

Directly, a mailing list manager can help users keep track of how to 
unsubscribe.  (I'm not the only person in the universe who has 
deleted the message with the unsubscribe address in it!)

Indirectly, knowing explicitly which messages are mailing list 
messages is very helpful in other places.  It makes spam filtering 
easier.  It makes it easier to group mailing list messages together, 
either in folders or with categories.

If Chandler has a mailing list manager, I'd like to see a checkbox 
that conveys the message "These messages will never turn into 'to-do' 
actions."  The word-of-the-day mailing list, for example, will never 
turn into a "to-do" action.  However, if you are a Chandler 
developer, then the Chandler dev list messages will probably turn 
into "to-do" items on a very regular basis!

Whether or not something is likely to turn into a "to-do" item 
affects where it should be placed in the inbox or even if it goes 
into the inbox at all.  I'm quite happy for information-only mailing 
lists (e.g. word-of-the-day) to go into separate folders.

This is a medium-priority feature request: not absolutely necessary, 
but very handy.
