Too Many emails

I Joined the gnucash-user mailing list on Sunday 2 August 2015, Monday 3 
August Australian time and have been inundated with 20 or so emails a 
day from enthusiastic users in the two evenings since. I will un-join 
after sending this email. I wonder if some clever user can make a system 
where the initial user emails are stored in the cloud or somewhere and 
an automated list of those new topics is emailed to all users, but no 
other emails.

Another (more practical) solution?

When people say "too many emails" they usually mean too many emails from 
a list mixed in with all their other emails coming into their inbox.

So if instead they had the emails from this list (or  similar lists) 
immediately going off into a folder all by themselves, with the folder 
set with a retention period so they would eventually go away unless you 
marked them "retain", wouldn't be such a problem, yes? << they wouldn't 
be interfering with your other emails >>

If you don't have that set up, you haven't yet learned how to use your 
email client. I can't tell you exactly how since I don't know what email 
client you are using. But T'Bird users who need help with this could 
contact me offline about how to use "message filters". In this 
household, maybe 100 emails coming in per day. But all but a handful 
automatically sorted into appropriate folders.
