Hello. This is mostly unrelated, but I know you can all offer advice on this matter.
I've been on this list for ten days, and since then I've received ~275 messages. The majority of them are unimportant to me, but some of them are. I need to figure out how to filter incoming messages, soon.
What methods do you people use to sort TextMate mail?

I recently just rejiggered all my email. I now use Gmail for everything. I have 2 gmail accounts. 1 for personal & work related stuff and another for mailing lists and general bulk email.
Now that Gmail has imap support it's hard not to use it for everything ;)

I simply just mass-select messages that seem irrelevant to me based on their subject lines, and then mark them as read. I have all TextMate messages automatically move to their own folder so they don't clutter my inbox, and have a smart mailbox that shows me the unread messages from the folder.
There's actually another mailing list, R-help, which I am in, and which is much worse.

If you mean "filter" as in delete some messages, I don't do that, but I do dump all mail from this list into its own folder automatically. Then I can just scan the subjects and delete what I don't need to see, etc. This has been pretty manageable for the year and a half I've been on the list.
The rule I use matches any message that's to the list's address and has "[TxMt]" in the subject.

If you go to the link below where you signed up to join this list, there is an option to choose a daily collection of messages. The only problem is that you cannot respond quickly as I just did!

Yeah, I do that too. I also have a rule to mark as read anything that mentions LaTeX. Sometimes this seems like more of a latex list than anything else ;)

Same here, but the rule delete every mail with [TxMt] and LaTex in the subject line. ;)
In gmail, I automatically label all of the incoming TextMate messages as TextMate. But further I have gmail star all of the messages that mention Python, Latex, or SQL since those are the messages I'm most interested in following. This makes it really easy to find the interesting stuff and mark the rest as read when I get a few days behind.

I automatically label apply the label "TextMate" to all messages incoming from "lists.macromates.com". Additionally, I archive these messages so they stay out of my inbox. Happily, archived messages don't lose their read/unread/flagged status, so you get a count of unread messages under the label.
Now that I read Brad's email, I'm going to go add some more rules to flag topics I'm interested in!
I'm also using Gmail. I use the "mute" feature to hide threads that don't interest me. (Select the thread and hit the m key.)
