I posted this information to the gmane.discuss news group.  Lets
see what their response is.

It definitely is a low priority request.

I use Gmane to follow a lot software development mailing lists (a little
over 150 of them).  If I subscribed to all of them, I would find my
mailbox overloaded with messages.  Its bad enough as it is.

I could automatically refile each group into its own folder, but then
would end up with having to manage an lot of mail being locally
archived.  With nntp and Gmane I can see what is happening periodically,
or when I have a problem, and trace back the history of any discussion,
with a far nicer (and faster) interface that looking via web though a
mailing list archive.

Of course I have a very nice news/mail reader, written by the same person
that runs Gmane.
