Ok, outlook may not be that great, but even in outlook you can create a separate folder called "R" and create a rule so all email with "[R]" or "[Rdevel]" etc. going into the R folder. That way you can easily scan your R mail separate from your regular mail and then delete everything you don't need. That's what I do on my work PC.

I find it absolutely essential to have a client that can display mail in threads. Deleting mail a thread at a time is an order of magnitude more efficient. Nabble does a fairly good job of showing threads, but I would prefer to download every message and delete the threads I'm ignoring. Even on a good connexion, the delays downloading individual messages add up. And gmail is slower still. Another advantage of your own client is that you can use a monospaced font which is far easier for reading code which is bound to happen on a list like this. Most people I know have the misfortune of not having access to a mail client that displays threads[1], but for anyone who has control over such things, in the Windows world, I know Thunderbird is fairly good, but if you're fortunate enough to be allowed to use Linux, there is Mutt or you might like Emacs as a mail client which both do threads very well without the need to use a mouse -- which I consider a huge bonus.

Nothing to do with this list. 1.
