A more practical approach is to filter your messages by using the sender's name.
My e-mail package is Eudora Pro. I can create as many mail boxes as I like.
I have created a special mail box for BEE-L messages. I have set the
filters that will direct all mail from BEE-L into this mail box by looking
for BEE-L <[log in to unmask]> in the FROM: header.
If I do not want to use special mail box, I can click a button that will
sort the entries by any of the following
Status
Priority
Attachments
Label
Sender (From:)
Date/time received
Size
Subject (it ignores the string "Re: ")
To simply identify which messages come from BEE-L, the Sender's identity is
all ready sufficient. If you cannot do this on your system, perhaps you
e-mail package is a one of the more primitive types and getting a better one
would be more appropriate.
PS
I have considered applying additional filters to messages from BEE-L to put
the messages into more pigeon holes. However that would require a very
tight discipline on all contributors to the list to make it work. I quickly
dropped that idea. The sort buttons will do what I need when I need them.
