This is by far not a high traffic list so
for that reason only I don't think it should be a requirement.

If you say that some mail clients don't set headers correctly
then you have a point, mail clients should set that appropriately
so threads can be followed correctly (in the right order).

However, I would keep the mailing list open like the way
it is to make it easer for new people to chime in
and follow what's happening. I have seen new people on the
#TYPO3 IRC channel that never heard, and where surprised
about the 'hidden' world in TYPO3 (eg news servers available).

Just my 2 cents.
