For those of you using Outlook (you know who you are, that's right, you in
the red shirt), I personally recommend setting a rule to move all of your
mailing list items to another folder and then viewing them by conversation
topic.  That way you don't have to sift through fifty items about something
you don't care about just to find out if someone responded to your message.

I do the same. All mails from [EMAIL PROTECTED] are kept in a separate
mail folder called perlmail. I subscribe to multiple lists, like sas-l,
perl, gams-l, etc. The sas list is also a high-volume list, (>100
mails/day). It would not do to have  them all in the inbox. Fitering
mails
like this is a solution.

  MONUMENT, n.  A structure intended to commemorate something which
  either needs no commemoration or cannot be commemorated.
  
      The bones of Agammemnon are a show,
      And ruined is his royal monument,
  
  but Agammemnon's fame suffers no diminution in consequence.  The
  monument custom has its _reductiones ad absurdum_ in monuments "to the
  unknown dead" -- that is to say, monuments to perpetuate the memory of
  those who have left no memory.
