I highly recommend an e-mail client with message filtering capabilities.
I'm sure there are several e-mail programs with this feature. I know
Outlook has it, and I use Eudora Pro which also does filtering. I have it
set up so that all the mail from a particular mailing list will go into a
seperate mailbox. You can go further than this if you wanted to though;
for example you could have it delete all DML mail that does not contain the
phrase "throttle body", or whatever... I find that downloading all the
messages and having them filtered into a seperate mailbox is easier than
the digest mode. (The messages are easier to reply to, and I can just scan
down the subjects and delete any I know I don't want to read.)
I don't know what I did before e-mail filtering! I wouldn't be able to
get by without it now! :-)
