> I have noticed several postings from people I don't recognize The horror!
Seriously, what I have found that really helps is I filter all the IBM-MAIN postings into their own Outlook folder, which I set up as "View by conversation topic." This view sorts say 100 new e-mails into perhaps a dozen topics (subject lines). I then just delete unread with one keystroke any topic that I know nothing about and/or does not interest me. I can get rid of 90 e-mails in about 5 seconds. Do I probably miss threads that would have interested me had I read the body? Probably. Am I keeping my sanity? Mostly.
