Seamonkey / Thunderbird filters can add a tag, and you can display the 
tags column next to the subject in the message list. Gmail displays its 
tags in the subject space. The relevant information is present in the 
messages, and the display is a user preference thing, so it's best 
handled in the user agent. Note the above muas can't do away with 
subject tags afaik at least ootb so the reverse setup wouldn't work out 
to various preferences quite as well.
