I suspect that all e-mail programs have the capability to filter
messages. You can typically filter by subject, by sender, etc. So
it's not difficult to set up your account to filter out messages from
particular ECOLOG-L subscribers, or threads you don't want to
follow. For example, here's information about how to do that with Outlook.

For Eudora, go to Tools > Filters (probably the same for Thunderbird).
For Gmail, see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en.
Another option is to get the daily digest so all you get is one
message a day from the list. To set your subscription to the digest
form, send (from your subscribed address) the message
set ecolog-l digest
to
[email protected]
And you can also scan listserv messages on the weekly archive, which
has a table of contents for each
week:
