It would be very difficult to deal with Vortex emails going to one's
inbox, given the volume of traffic here. In a Gmail account, it is
possible to set up a filter that routes Vortex emails to a subfolder
("label") and bypass the inbox entirely. There may be something
comparable with Yahoo! mail. If Yahoo! does not give you a way to do
this, you might set up a Gmail account specifically for mailing list
traffic.
I'm using ThunderBird (a sisterprogram of FireFox) for managing my
mailboxeS and it allows me to filter on several different aspects (e.g
sender, subject etc.) and it keeps things a lot better manageable.
My experience is that it works best directly via the IMAP protocol on
the mailbox.
This requires to pick a decent provider such as Gmail, AOL/AIM, etc.
which offers this IMAP functionality.
Of course you also need to look into the setting of the non-standard
parameters for adding your mail account.
Kind regards,
Rob
