I thought all mail clients can do this ... evolution certainly does and I use it and imap labels to create lists of patches ready for applying. However, there is an unintended consequence: If I'm working from this list and applying patches in the order the mail client is presenting them, any patch which receives a reply gets dragged to the bottom of my list. Usually this is correct because it means there's still debate about the patch, but if you're going to send me pings as replies, they have the same effect and delay the testing and application of the patch.
