To prevent this, you can usually suspend delivery for a while if you know you'll be away for a while; you might have to unsubscribe and re-subscribe depending on the list. Different mail list managers do things in their own ways. Sometimes receiving lists in digest format improves the situation, but the Fedora list is pretty much always at a torrent, so it won't help much. I see hundreds of messages a day on this list, so if a mailbox filled up things can get ugly very quickly. Many folks here use Gmail accounts for lists because it offers so much storage space. Hope this helps, and that you get back on the lists you want. Erik
