I've subscribed to the orgmode mailinglist about 1,5 years ago and so I have >17.500 mails in my inbox. You really have to be organized very well to deal with so much information! Is there a tutorial somewhere for good approaches, how to participate in such a list (without doing it as a full time job)? IMHO, there must be some process like: Review each new topic -> if interesting/relevant mark it to follow what happens, -> else if not interesting/relevant, then ignore the following posts. The interesting stuff should also be stored to be available later for reference... How do you handle that? Are there tools which make such a process easier? Up to now I just used my old mail client Microsoft Entourage 2004 on OS X for storing those mails. Kind regards Martin
