I'm on several high-traffic lists. Here's my recommendation:

- though people often try this as a way to reduce the clutter, don't use
digests (delivery option where you get a bunch of posts crammed together
into one email message), since they are hard to read and even harder to
reply to -- digests are really intended to be broken up into individual
messages again on the client side (before you see them in your inbox),
but people started reading them directly at some point, which was a
terrible mistake

- Do this, it's great! -- setup a folder for each mailing list you
subscribe to and create a filter to deliver messages from the lists into
those folders automatically (all decent mail clients can do this, and
procmail or maildrop can do it on the server, which is even better if
you use multiple computers to read your mail)

That way you can just ignore the list (without cluttering your inbox)
until you have time to read it.
