hi list,

as a first time debian-user subscriber, I feel been buried alive by
incoming emails, though I heard there are some monster maillists,
linux kernel maillist for example, are carrying even heavier traffic.
Wondering how to manage so many emails, out of curiosity, I did a
statistics on choice of mail client and email service, based on 1494
messages received since subscribed to this list. Here is what I found.

I think Mutt is awesome for handling mailing lists. I always view in
thread mode, and I use Ctrl-d to delete entire threads that don't
interest me. I can delete the entire thread in the time it takes me to
read the subject line.
