I skim through the list of subjects and automatically delete any mail of the form <this thing vs. that thing>. I briefly read mail on any new subject, but if it contains mostly 1-line responses, cutsey replies, or large masses of quoted material, then I biff all mail with that subject thereafter. Threads that go on for days and days usually have degenerated early in their life and those get biffed too. Thus, I probably actually read about 1% of the mail, skim through the contents of about 10%, the rest is deleted. - -Dave
