What I did as soon as I subscribed was to make a folder [BW]. All of these emails go there automatically. I scan down through to see any relevance for me and delete at my option. Very neat and easy. It's so easy to complain, but easier to solve issues.

To follow up on Craig's suggestion: Another option to too many emails is to create a separate account (hotmail, yahoo, juno, aol or something else free) just for your list-serves or just for specific research. I do this for some things. Then it's all in one place and you can deal with it as you have time to, and it's separate from the rest of your life, and you can wholesale DELETE by various subjects. Just a thought.
