Reading pg ml mail is relatively high on my list of things I want to  
do, so I have it all come into my inbox. However, with other mailing  
lists (e.g., ruby-talk and the RoR lists which have the highest  
volume of any mailing list I'm subscribed to) I generally have them  
routed into their own folder. I usually let lower-volume mailing  
lists just end up in my inbox as well

plugin to make further processing of mail easier (such as archiving  
to appropriate folders).
