People say to split it into separate folders without explaining what 
they mean.

At present, I use this email address for this (plus sounder) and no 
other purpose.

Each list has its own folder. If anyone knows a good way to split 
further using filters, say so!


At some point this list will have to be split. This is a new distro, and 
already this list is as busy as debian-user. The sooner the split is 
made, the less painful it will be.

Anyone who wants all the U mail can, of course, subscribe to all the 
lists, but at present there is no way for anyone to get a sebsible subset.

Sounder gets maybe one post a week; I was surprised when I split dingo 
mail by list how little difference it made.
