I manage a Mailman list at work (one of several moderators for the list)
- I get subscribe/unsubscribe notices by the bucketload every day. I've
got a rule for the unsub messages (because I don't care when someone
leaves the list).
And people wonder why I don't like Exchange (yes, I know it's
configurable). ;-)

Ours is set to notify once a day, which isn't too bad. Still, if I'm away
for more than a week, I'm guarenteed to have at least one over-sized mailbox
notification.
One of our bright-spark developers wrote an error handler for an import
routine that mails the DBA team with any file that fails to import. The
files range from half a MB up to just over 3MB, and generally if one of the
files is badly formed, several for the same day will be. The mailbox size
limit is 10MB

You have to prioritize. I don't read every thread, and don't finish
every thread I read :)

Yeh me neither, if I did I would never get anything else done! I tend to
only read the recent threads, anything older than a few days is off my
screen and I rarely scroll back ;-)

Damn. I need to prioritise. I'm usually so bored I read almost every
post in every thread... :-|

Gotta love NNTP. In web forums, if you click a thread, it marks the
whole thread as read. Even if you still haven't read any of the 100
posts, and you read only a dozen and then stop, you can't keep track of
what you already read.
Newsreaders keep read status for individual posts.

That's pretty much what I did. Look for things I was already talking
about, catch those up, and then read the root and see if I as interested
in other topics. :-)

Yep, I hate using web forums. vBulletin is good because it can gate to
NNTP groups, and there are a few others that do that as well. I don't
understand how anyone can use a web forum effectively.
