Don't read every message  :>  (seriously!)
Between mailing lists and USENET groups that I
participate in, I have to sort through about
500 subject lines each day.  No way am I going to
bother reading all of those messages (thankfully,
the USENET posts tend to be more on-topic -- oddly
enough -- so the subject line says it all...).
Peek at a thread, decide if you want to follow
it -- else hit delete and move on.

Also, consider the efficiency of your mail reader.
E.g., web based services tend to be slower at
(interactively) processing individual messages
so I only use them on lower bandwidth lists.

HTH,
