Exactly. I filter my Elecraft email by model. Each rig Elecraft produces has it's own folder and the mail therein gets read when/if I want. No wearing out of the delete or mouse button.
I learned that lesson quickly with the K3 announcement and subsequent avalanche of "when is it going to ship" noise. I have one request for all KX3 devotees and inquirers. Please standardize the subject line. If it concerns the KX3 the first three characters in the subject should be KX3, not KX-3 or KX/3 or some other derivation. It makes setting up one filter for the traffic easy and I think it's in the list guidlines as well.
