A third way is to use the list-id header which all civilized mailing 
list managers should support (alternatively, there's the mailing-list 
header). This lists list-id header looks like:

List-Id: 	NYPHP Talk <talk.lists.nyphp.org>

I sort on the list-id (or the mailing-list header) into a folder 
specific to that mailing list and then read through each list, catching 
up as time permits.
