|Not exactly. My mail program, Claris Emailer, can sort on subject, and is

I agree with David. My system was perfectly fine without the [klarinet]
subheader, and MS Outlook Express (not to be confused with Outlook) is also
smart enough to filter by almost every concievable option, including To:.
Now, the switchover hasn't been painful for me because I set it to look for
the word klarinet in the To field, but it does make the subject line very
cluttered.
