You're not supposed to actually read them. They're there to make it seem like 
you know about certain subjects. I've got absolutely tonnes of unread list 
mail about Java, Cocoa, Objective-C and suchlike. You'd think that I actually 
know how to program. Same as my bookshelf. None of it has the slightest 
meaning to me, however, and I'm as unable to program as I ever was, 20 years 
ago. However, just looking at all the mail pile up lets me see statistically 
which are the popular topics, so I know which words to use when discussing 
technology.
