Yes, that is true. Thank you for the tip. I’ll set up some message filters 
for guix-patches.

And also use a separate mail client just to read the mailing list folders 
which is more suited for that use case (I like my current mail client for 
handling personal email and low volume stuff).

That is a good idea. I agree that it would be helpful.
