Another thing which helps decrease "noise" in list messages is turning
off HTML mail.  I'm fairly confident an audience of Linux enthusiasts
can read text-only email.  When a message contains a text/html part,
it ends up being more than twice the size.  This is especially true if
the HTML includes lots of style definitions.
