And even if the Fedora maillist wasn't high-volume, many of us listen in on many maillists. So to see so much noise being generated by a few individuals is annoying at best. I agree with Robert that this is the type of noise level that belongs on a blog so that the masochistic few can tune in if they want/need to. But who listens to us?
And Richard, if that's been tried and it "didn't take," I think that's the indictment you need to listen to. Few of us care about this kind of endless blather.
Finally, Todd, since it's obvious that Karl's prattle will never end, I'd be interested if you ever got that thread-killer working...

So, exactly what is the issue????
If you don't want to look at a given msg, the delete key does work pretty
well... and if you really think you're getting into a situation where your
email is just getting too damn swamped with 'garbage'/useless emails.. you
can always outsource to someone and have them filter your email!!!
peace..

Actually Karl, the problem is not deleting your messages. The problem is
deleting the threads (initiated by your mails), with all the noise that
they generate, automatically :-)
Wonder what the Thunderbird folks should do?
later,
Rogue
