This list has way too many messages for the amount of free time I have. Does someone, by any chance, know of email software with filtering (bayesian, user-based, etc) to help you ferret out the interesting stuff? Kind of like reverse spam: find the most interesting out of a mass of legit messages.

I guess you could use a bayesian spam filter but just teach it
backwards

Hrm... ruby-talk has web mirrors at http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml and http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/4\. Perhaps you could work up a system using Contact Support or something, but a few random guesses on my part had it showing up 0 for everything...

If you use Mozilla, simply sort the subjects, then look at the ones you want. Then use ^A to select all of the emails then delete them. This can be done quite quickly.

I recommend the two-second rule -- look at the message for 2 seconds, then take action on it or delete it.

If God had meant for carrots to be eaten cooked, He would have given rabbits fire.
sylpheed or sylpeed-claws
(sylpheed - Google Search)
provides (key-word or regex) filters with associated actions, so you can
use it to, for example, put all messages with ruby.*java|java.*ruby in
the subject line in your ruby-java folder, and so on. Works well for me
for my mailing list emails. (And each folder is implemented as a
directory in the filesystem, so it's also easy to grep/etc. emails from
the command line.)

I've been working on it for IMAPCleanse, but I haven't made it accurate yet. You may be interested in imap_flag, though. It lets you track response to email addresses you like to read.

Some people prefer to use mailing lists natively, instead of through
(occasionally broken) forum gateways.

I can't read the website when I'm not attached to the internet.
A website will gobble up even more of my precious time because I have to wait for messages to load. No fun.
