Unless a person is receiving digest format, in which case you get
all the good and bad anyway, scan subjects, and choose from there.
That is why I find individual messages to be more efficient than
digests. You can set up a mail folder for a specific e-group, and have
all messages from that group automatically directed to it on downloa.
You can then skim through the subject headers without reading the emails
just as if it were a digest. You can filter all emails from specific
senders, and subjects of frequent occurence and definite disinterest,
directly into your trash folder, and so on.
I do agree that accurate subject lines, with or without prefixes such as
CHAT:, are an excellent thing.
I also like Yahoo lists because you can drop in and read emails now and
then whenever you feel like it, without receiving messages
automatically, or you can receive them automatically if you prefer.
Yahoo also keeps archives.
