Pine does permit you to sort your mail by different criteria, so you
can look at all of the mail addressed to `list-managers' first, or all
the mail addressed to `smartlist', or all the mail addressed to
`postmaster', or whatever.  Its message-sorting facilities are
powerful even if the interface is a little clunky.  Most modern Unix
mailers support this sort of thing, so I don't think it's a real
problem.
