On a sort of side point, I've recently started using the highlight
feature in evolution to apply colours to incoming mail where the
'sender' matches certain criteria - doing this lets me assign a pleasant
(but obvious) colour to people I know and/or whose postings are
interesting (respectively red and redorange), and a vile colour to those
whose postings are silly/downright stupid (respectively forest green and
lime green).

Doing this, I've found, gives me a great indicator as to the qualities
of a thread - a large amount of either colour clearly indicates the
general tone of the thread (and a large amount of both tends to indicate
a 'hot topic'). Suffice it to say that unless looking for a comedy
moment in my afternoon, I tend to ignore those putrid green threads and
head straight for a red.

Particularly for high-volume lists like this one and security basics, I
find that this method pays dividends!
