You will only scan the ones being interesting as<br>
defined by the rules. Actually, the only limit to what you can follow is<br>
how restrictive you are - clearly, you need to know what you are<br>
interested in for this to be effective, but this is the same for a forum.<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm a member of I don't know how many forums, some I visit almost daily; others I go to when I need some information, receive a notification from a thread I subscribed too, or am asked by private message.<br>
<br>With mailing-lists it's either stop and go; and the search is not as easy and fructiful as in forums. Very often, I go to a forum and eventually don't ask any question because I find the problem is already answered; or I can use an existing thread to ask for some details.<br>

The best I guess is to have a wiki where dedicated users (e.g. yourself<br>
and Rinus :)) extract key information (e.g. emacs wiki) originating on<br>
the lists.<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't think I'm a dedicated user"; I only spend a lot of time (too much, in my opinion) to "extract" valuable information from the list. I'd rather spend more time investigating and actually using Digikam, with more benefits for me and people asking questions.<br>
