Sorry guys, but don't you set up email filters on your mail client? Kmail has that kind of thing built in, you can even write your own program and tell kmail to pipe mail through it.
Are you suggesting they invent filters which decide whether a mail message for this list is spam/chitchat or actual TDE user information?
That would be interesting. If you have such a thing, please share it.
Classifying emails into "on-topic" versus "off-topic" (as opposed to "spam" versus "ham") would make an interesting project for anyone interested in Bayesian filters or machine learning.
Na, not so hard. Usually the first 4 or 5 mails in a thread are "on topic", the rest is "off topic". so just mark the first mail that's off topic as spam and move all responses to trash.
