Great story and thanks for sharing! As someone newer to mailing lists, how did (or do) you use them without flooding your inbox? Lots of rules/filters and directories? Using mutt, alpine or gnus? I appreciate the USENET newsgroups perspective of having a separate directory (other than your inbox) to read and respond to posts but it seems not many projects use NNTP these days.

Thanks! The mailing list was never that busy, so it wasn't really a problem. I'd probably automatically redirect to a folder if I needed to do that.

Funny that you mention USENET. I'm subscribed to about 20 newsgroups, using Claws-mail. It is quite nice that they're separate from my other mail accounts.
