Hi Julian,
Sorry this is happening to you. If your email is set to alert you for
every email, this would be quite an annoyance!
Some communities use mailing lists as a low-traffic annouce system, but
others use them as a web forum type thing. OSM usually uses the latter.
As well as tweaking your email client to not alert you for all messages.
You could use the NNTP/usenet interface to the HOT list provided by
gmane.org. If you have an email client like Thunderbird, it can also
function as a usenet reader. Just point it to news.gmane.org and you can
view this list at gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.hot. You can read and
send messages, and read all old messages. This could allow you to take
part in the HOT mailing list, without getting all the emails. This is
what I use and how I'm sending this message! :)

Hello everyone,
I am interested in information regarding HOT activations, the talk about
real HOT problems and some news regarding HOT, so I joined this list
about a year ago during the earthquake in Nepal. Currently I found
myself deleting nearly 98% of the messages of this list even without
reading it.
It's just crazy getting dozends of emails a day on topics having nearly
no intersection with HOT at all! e.g. "Bounding box not in iD Editor
anymore" or currently "Mapswipe - whats happening with the data?". There
are boards, where, in my optinion, general discussions should take place
but not on a mailinglist. A mailinglist, thats the place where really
urgend stuff should be discussed.
Is there a HOT mailinglist that just focuses on important stuff?
with annoyed greetings
Julian
