You honestly get all lists delivered into one inbox? Set up mail filters NOW! Let your mailserver or MUA do the work and sort each list in a separate folder - then the 100-odd -devel and -user mails are the biggest chunks, but together with threaded mail display and the 'ignore thread' feature which IMHO any decent mail client shuld offer (at least when used to read mailing lists), this is absolutely manageable. No idea if gmail is feature-complete enough for that. And obviously I don't claim this to be the only way to read lists, it's just how I do it, with 400+ emails per day on some 20-odd mailing lists - and I'm still able to find personal email in my regular inbox. Using things like automatic scoring and other more newsreader-like features might be another possibility. cheers -- vbi -- this email is protected by a digital signature: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
