One thing you might want to do to begin is mark all threads as "read", probably with a right-click. That way you are not apt to get into conversations that other people consider stale.

Or you can dedicate an email account simply to wikien-l, and only check it once or twice a week, preferably when you only have a few minutes to devote to reading it. And make sure it's gmail, so that threads are grouped. It's much easier to ignore a grouped thread, especially when it has accumulated 40 messages... :) On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 2:12 PM, Jay Litwyn <brewhaha(a)freenet.edmonton.ab.ca

Gmail's conversation threading and three-state email (read, unread and archived) is why I can finally keep up with my mailing lists. - d.

I use apple mail to automatically move wikien-l messages to a separate folder. In addition, threads with the same title get automatically highlighted, so that's how I can follow it. X! On Mar 28, 2009, at 8:02 AM [Mar 28, 2009 ], David Gerard wrote:

You don't even have to really do that when using Gmail. It's trivial to set up a filter that automatically archives and adds a "wikipedia" label to any email from the mailing list. That way it stays out of your inbox and doesn't clutter up your regular mail, but is readily available if you just click the "Wikipedia" label in your sidebar. --Oskar

Not to mention plus addressing for easy filtering. ;-) --Falcorian
