That's the weakness of mailing lists. :(

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't implying that TB! should be given
newsreading functionality. I was just saying that newsreaders are very
well developed in streamlining functionality where news posts are
concerned for the simple reason that almost no one will be interested
in everything that's posted to a group and yet they can't simply
demand that only what they're interested in should be posted. I
simply never work myself up about it actually. The delete key is my
friend, that's all.
