a client or MDA that offers filtering? Use

No, I won't get the next cool super tool to compensate

Every full fledged mail client supports filtering rules,
as do many webmail clients.<br>
<br>
The In-Reply-To field was defined for email in RFC822 way
way back in 1982, allowing mail clients to track a
conversation across multiple replies, enabling threading,
so you can view or ignore entire topics as a whole. This
"next cool super tool" is built-in functionality, rather
than the lack there of, and over 30 years old.

<div>Raymond: I've seen a few replies, scattered out over
several years, where you have made statements regarding
certain mail clients and how they should honor the
'In-Reply-To' field, but I never have seen a list of
popular clients that do/don't honor this field. Can spout
off a few for us? How do we tell if our client does this
right or not?</div>

Check the headers of your email when it gets bounced back from
mailman. Thunderbird, Outlook, iOS mail, Squirrelmail, and
RoundCubeMail all populate this (admittedly optional) header field.
I've not actually found a client that doesn't, although I haven't
been intentionally looking, and emails to the list that are lacking
that field typically do not report a client.<br>
