[vtkusers] Too many emails

Fri May 5 15:45:31 EDT 2017

Switching from mailing list to web-based forum would solve this and many other problems. We recently moved Slicer mailing lists to Discourse (https://discourse.slicer.org) and it just works so much better. People can subscribe to any topic, category, or tag they are interested in, posts are much higher quality and better organized (as you can edit/fix your posts, easily fork discussions that deviate from the original topic into a new one; you can attach tags, put posts into categories and subcategories), you can get to know your community much better through detailed statistics, etc. There are many more advantages and actually we didn't found any drawbacks (other than we have to rebuild our reputation for getting more attention from search indexing bots). Even hardcore text-only email users transitioned to the new system quite easily.  Discourse provides free hosting for large open-source projects.

I couldn’t imagine to switch from mailing list to a forum a few years ago, but the world is changing and Discourse just feels more appropriate today and can do so much more.

You could also configure your mail client to filter the ml mail into a specific folder.
Finally, if you are only interested by getting answers on your own questions, you could subscribe/unsubscribe only when needed.

Hi Anime,

I changed the subject line on this message since it's unrelated to the
previous discussion in the thread.

If you go back to the registration page that you used to sign up for
the mailing list, there's an option that lets you switch from
receiving individual emails to a daily digest. This will just send you
a single email with all messages from that day.

Or, do what I do and set up a gmail filter that moves all messages
from the mailing list into a separate folder and skip the inbox.

HTH,
Dave
