You know, I wonder how many software package owners have similar
problems (and what they do about it).  My problem is that I enter a
folder, and immediately hit C-M-> out of habit and only look at the
last few.  My mailing list for my coders mailing list (ding list
equivalent) has 181 unread messages in it (which indicates messages I
need to deal with).  And I wonder the same thing.  Is it worth the
effort to respond when some of them are that old?  They have certainly 
either solved the problem, discussion, or simply dropped it without my 
help at this point...

Sigh...

Let me know if you succeed.  I tend to do the "Lars Heavy Response
Wave" like you do where I hit huge mass mailing periods then enter
silence again for a while.
