Switching to daily digest mode on this list.
If the email traffic is getting a little too much for you on this list, you can go to 'daily digest' mode. Which will only send you one email per day containing all the emails of that day.
To do so, the easiest way (fewest steps) is to unsubscribe and the re-subscribe using this form: http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.o...
When you re-subscribe make sure you say "Yes" to "Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
What about moving to a web forum? That may be a better way to catalog information. Just a thought.
I second the secondly. Viewing forum email by conversation is amazing and reduces so much clutter.
The Google bandwagon (Jonathan plugs it - now it's my turn): Simon recommended mozilla thunderbird to sort conversations by conversation. I strongly recommend using Gmail for email for personal accounts or organizational accounts. It sorts by conversation and will keep you inbox simple with many email lists coming to you.
Something that I've started doing in my inbox is applying a filter to add a label to all list serve messages. In gmail the label appears before the subject so it has the effect of indenting conversations that you have the label applied to (I like to use the label "......" so that it is a simple indent). I took a screenshot of my inbox to show you guys. Recently I had been having the trouble of having so many email list messages that I was loosing track of stuff I needed. This has helped a ton!
