Personally, the volume of these lists is way too high for me, and 
the S/N ratio is pretty bad.  Many have commented both on-list, 
in IRC, and in private discussions similarly.  Most people either 
skim subject lines, or just gang-delete mail I think unless they 
see something that interests them jump out.

I use pine's threading (H) to view threads, then scan through 
them looking for XFree86/X or X related subjects and generally 
ignore almost all other emails myself.  I'd like to set up a mail 
filter that searches the subject/body for certain keywords and 
filters the mails to folders for me while ignoring the bulk of 
the lists.

Evolution's vfolders feature aparently is perfect for this, 
although I use pine myself.  I might start using Evolution in the 
future, just for mailing lists alone, and use pine for regular 
mail.  ;o)
