Filtering gets the email messages from the listserver into
the correct separate email box. However it does nothing
for the overwhelming volumn problem which threading would
considerably help. Both web based discussion managers &
news reader programs handle treading well. For a group of
this volume you would need a good discussion server & at
least one public server that I know of just isn't up to the
job. It's to busy for good service. I wonder why this
listserver group hasn't long ago gone to a news/news server
format for the much better accessibility of the threaded
news readers. It doesn't have to be part of the public
news system with it's well known loss of messages,
advertisements, & harvesting of email addresses for future
spam. If Debian can set up & run the fancy listserver as
they have they could just as well instead run a private or
semi-private news server that only has Debian
news/discussion on it. There are a reasonable number of
such already on the net. The existing searchable email
archive could be just as good or better as a news
archive.

Thank you for reading my message.
I am a member of the Debian Linux Mailing List(just like
you) and I know how boring is to receive every day
hundreds
of e-mails, and don't have time to read it all.
So now I have found a much easier way.
Click on the link on the bottom of my email to go directly
to my page: "Unofficial Debian Linux Message Board"
Yes that's it! A message board it's much easier to use and
you don't have hundred of e-mails in you Inbox every day.
So
I will wait you all there. See ya!

procmail, exim filters, or do what I do, use a Windows

filtering built in. :)
