I cut down on the "information overload" in my inbox by not viewing this
list as mail at all.  Instead, I subscribe to it as an NNTP newsgroup,
gmane.emacs.orgmode at nntp://news.gmane.org/, which I view in Gnus.
This keeps the incredibly active conversation and development of
org-mode (which is a very good thing!) in a separate corner of my
computing life from my email.  From there it's easier to narrow down
what's relevant to org-mode topics I have an interest in, and I can also
leave newsgroup to its own devices when I don't have time to look at
this list.
