Hey, you're already on gmail. Make a filter that labels them all
"fedora," then just don't read them, except when you want to. Then in
a while you can use them as your own presonal archive ... I switched
my fedora-list account to gmail about 7 months ago, and now when I
need to know how to do something, I just type

label:fedora [searchterm]

into the search box and hit "search mail." This is a great thing.
