I used to do that for more than 5 years until I realized I wasn't following linux development anymore because it's never the right moment to actively open list archives. So now I can quickly scan them, read what interests me and archive them. And at the end what remains are my own e-mails, a few spams and the auto-responders, which don't live long since my finger is never far from the D key. > >> I've googled a bit and it appears the they can be suppressed using an > >> > >> X-Auto-Response-Suppress:OOF > >> > >> header [1].

I've added "X-Auto-Response-Suppress:OOF" to the x-mailing-list, list-id and list-post that were already present. We'll see. Cheers, Willy
