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.
I do exactly the same thing in Mozilla Thunderbird mail client, except
they call it "view by thread" (same thing in Netscape).
I can delete a thread that doesn't interest me with 2 keystrokes. Of
course, with topic drift, I might sometimes delete msgs with
uninteristic subject lines, but I'll take that chance
