The easiest way is to use tags if you want to group emails with different subject fields. If you enable imap in the gmail options you can read and sort your email anyway you want. Theoretically this should work with any command line imap capable mail client although I can only verify that it works with Thunderbird. When you view your inbox through Thunderbird the tags show up as folders.

Microsoft Moves To Change NY State Election Law 222

myspace-cn sends us to Bo Lipari's blog where it is revealed that Microsoft has moved forcefully into New York State with proposed changes to NY state election law drafted by Microsoft attorneys. A document has been circulating (PDF) among the legislators for a while now. The proposed changes would gut the source-code escrow and review provisions in current law that were hard-fought-for and passed in New York in 2005. Microsoft is siding with the makers of voting machines that run on Windows — the company doesn't want its code inspected by outsiders. From the article: "Now the software giant has gone a step further, not just saying 'we won't comply with your law' but actively trying to change state law to serve their corporate interests... Adding insult to injury, these changes are being slipped into a bill that may be voted on Monday or Tuesday, June 18 or 19."
