And actually, no, you can't *always* tell those discussion apart,

List headers don't guarantee helping with that, though, either,
because many lists will supporess the echo of the list mail to you if
you are also mentioned in the addressee headers. Given the prevalence
of people using reply-all, that happens often. Then some mail in the
discussion arrives in your inbox and other mail arrives in the list
box. And yes, this could be alleviated by people replying just to the
list, but a lot of mail clients seem not to provide a convenient way
to do that.
I don't want the additional subject line cruft, but the list headers
are not a magic answer.
