I totally relate as I'm in the same boat with mail volume. But I don't think adding [hadoop-dev] is really helpful. The subjects here are already pretty long. I set up filters for my mailing lists so that they go into their own folders based on the headers. If you use "show all headers" or "show message source" you will see that there is a: List-Id: <hadoop-dev.lucene.apache.org> So I have a rule that looks for contains "hadoop" in the the List-Id header. Of course that doesn't help off-list replies, and occasionally I do find messages that I have to retrieve from the spam filter which apparently doesn't like excessive quoting. Jim
