Personally, the volume of these lists is way too high for me, and
the S/N ratio is pretty bad. Many have commented both on-list,
in IRC, and in private discussions similarly. Most people either
skim subject lines, or just gang-delete mail I think unless they
see something that interests them jump out.
I use pine's threading (H) to view threads, then scan through
them looking for XFree86/X or X related subjects and generally
ignore almost all other emails myself. I'd like to set up a mail
filter that searches the subject/body for certain keywords and
filters the mails to folders for me while ignoring the bulk of
the lists.
Evolution's vfolders feature aparently is perfect for this,
although I use pine myself. I might start using Evolution in the
future, just for mailing lists alone, and use pine for regular
mail. ;o)
