When I go through the listserv e-mails, I try to weed them right then and
there, at once. Avoid processing the same thing twice, this is like in-box
paper mail.
I do shift-Del on messages that I know are of no use to me. That rules out
about 2/3 of the e-mails.
For the rest, I ask myself: What is the likelihood that I will need this in
the next six months? If it's nearly zero percent, I do shift-Del on that
too.
Then I am left with a large number of e-mails that are all important and
relevant, but still I find I have no time to integrate them into Word.
For those that have to do with upgrading, I plunk them into a separate
folder.
I also make the in-box assistant transfer anything to do with the OEM into
yet another rmail folder.
Add to this the Developer and Designer listservs, and I really have no time.
They just pile up in my in-box.

Subject: OT: Keeping up w/list Email
Not sure how others handle getting behind on mail, but work lately
leaves me precious little time to keep up. Just spent the better
part
of a month clawing back through 6000 odd messages that queued up
after a
period away from the list.
My curiosity lies w/how others handle the situation. I've always
been
reluctant to can the folder contents, as there's always gems hidden
in
there somewhere. Now I'm totally caught up and it's a bloody big
relief. Gems were there too. :-)
Anyone find themselves in the same boat from time to time or do you
just
click, shift+left mouse and delete em' all?
