Yes - already there is, even in a very basic way:
You up to now you can choose to get the mails
- immediately
- as a digest

From my point of view things should be kept as simple as possible
(kiss).

I think it is not a good idea to burden mailinglist software with a full
featured user preferences database. But i'd think about adding two more
choices:

- no mails  # I'll send mails via nntp interface or from archive page
  therefore I only need unmoderated access.

- no subject tags # I'm filtering by List-ID in folders where tags don't
  make sense and are wasted space.

Everything more should be done by local software.
