Actually Mailman also supports "topics", but the List owner needs to define 
the topics and the posters need to include the "proper" keywords in the 
"Subject:" header OR include a "Keywords:" header.  By default, this is turned 
off and Mailman list owners rarely turn it on and posters almost never include 
a "Keywords:" header or put keywords in the "Subject:" header.  A "feature" 
that is mostly not used.
