No, I prefer the subject lines, devoid of the cruft, so that more
context could be provided.

Use filtering software on your mail host or in your MUA to shovel
an email in the appropriate mailbox|folder and/or tag some other
way.

Examples:
- "Google Mail" has filtering  to apply "labels", which I am
  using currently.
- Used previously "procmail" when fetching the messages on local
  machine, combined with manual effort in "mutt".
- I have heard of "Sieve" being an option for web mail & possibly
  local use (never used myself).
