[libreoffice-users] Tooo many messages on this mailing list?? How to avoid being swamped ...

Hi :)
A good way of reading this mailing list is to use either GMane or Nabble.
It seems those routes allow people to avoid getting emails directly and
just pick the threads that interest you, perhaps even subscribing to just
those threads.  I prefer Nabble because it gives the extra functionality of
being able to upload files that the mailing list can choose to read or
not.  I'm sure GMane has other advantages to suit other people's
requirements.

There's always the rather neat method of setting up a new email account
with GMail or one of the other free providers and to try to use only it for
just mailing lists.  I have a tendency to accidentally use the wrong email
address or to slip into using such things as my main email address which
kinda spoils that option for me.

Another option is, of course, to add filters to your existing email
account.  Those can move the emails "en masse" to a sub-folder which you
can choose to dip into at whim and ignore for the most part.

There may be other ways too.

This mailing list used to have hundreds of posts per day and it was my
first experience of such high volumes so i had to learn quite quickly.
Other people may have experience with even higher levels or/and on other
lists and may have other tricks to cope.

Regards from
Tom :)
