if you let run all your emails into one INBOX and don't let your mail
server or mail client filter/tag for you, then you might wanna re-think
your method of working. Except you have to much spare time on your hand.

The tags are pretty bad when people have to CC multiple mailing list.
While cross-posting is not a good idea to begin with, in some cases it
can NOT be avoided. And I wanna have that working smoothly. So no tags
on this mailing list.
