Hagar: Also, there is a searchable archive of this mailing list. I look through the incoming messages, delete those I'm not an expert on, answer those that I do know the answer to (after looking for others answers so that I do not duplicate their answers), delete those messages and keep only those that I have to follow-up on (bugs and other such things that I have to confirm as problems before accessing the Issue Tracker.) Thus, there are few messages from this list in my hold mail folders. Others can follow suit if they wish, but I see no need to keep thousands of messages on my computer that I am not going to read again.
