That's great for folks that manage their information via email and email folders, but not all do. I'm finding myself
use RSS more and more to manage project, hobby, and personal information, leaving email only for correspondences that I
need to respond to.
I'd like to see a compromise where I could sign up for mailing list that only contains discussions, yet track tickets,
wiki updates, and commits via RSS. This discussion-only mailing list could be a second mailing list that just
automatically filters out undesired messages. This would leave struts-dev untouched, yet allow those that take the RSS
path to not fill up their email boxes or have to setup new filters on multiple email clients (yes, I on an average day
use 4 or 5 and it is a pain to keep them in sync).
Anyways, it is important to remember that not everyone works in the same way or
uses the same tools.

IMHO, it sounds like Jive is not up to the task of managing an
ASF-style dev list. Any decent mailreader can filter mails into
whatever folders we find convenient, creating the personal equivalent
of five or six separate lists, if that's what someone wants.
GMail also has *excellent* search capabilties. I find it to be
superior to searching the public archives so I just never delete my
mailing list emails!
+1. All my open source mail goes to GMail. I have 50+ filters set up, and as
many labels, and it's really a snap to find anything (and not lose anything
important).

BTW, there was talk of switching to JIRA a while back. I'm still +1
for that. Its a much nicer system and I find it less cumbersome then
bugzilla. My point here is that its more tempting to "reply" to the
bug in the proper place.
