In evolution vfolders are your friend.  Just create a vfolder for each
mailing list.  To do this just right click on a message - select create
rule from message and then select vfolder on mailing list.

As mentioned by someone else changing the thread will not break the
thread as it uses the message id - look at the full email headers to see
where the message ids are quoted.
