I use Opera and it does display the mailing list's emails best, compared to the standard android email client I use on the tablets and the standard email client I use on iPhone.
Yes, I can filter in Opera, but I don't know why this should help. On one side I don't know what to filter as there are no fixed category tags all people are using consistently.
On the other side, I complained about this technology, because it spams all mails over to all my clients. Filtering on client side is not an approach that alters anything here.

I don't care for the history, I care for ergonomy and the ease of usage. For this, I have given up to try to follow the mailing list on android and ios, because it simply costs too much time to swipe all those mails away.
In Opera it is kind of easy to delete them, but still, it is manual work - I have to select all those mailing list threads that I don't care of and have to manually delete ... every day!
The sense of information technology is to reduce the manual amount of work, not to increase! :D
