Donna, Since you are using GMAIL, you can see how it keeps all the threads of one topic nicely together, thereby making 15 emails look like just 6 or 7. I use the yellow star feature in GMAIL to highlight the emails that I find VERY useful. (Don't do it too often, or else it is like highlighting a whole page; how does anything stand out?)
I don't delete the LUG emails from GMAIL, because every once in a while, I search them for a topic that at the time I wasn't interested in, but suddenly find myself needing to learn a bit more about. I find it easier to do from my Inbox then from the Archives. (But my LUG gmails go back to March 2006.) If you have created a Label for your LUG email (easy to do, I can send instructions if you need them), then all you need to do to go through them quickly is to select all your LUG-labeled emails from the list at left, start reading the oldest one, and if you don't find the subject matter compelling, ignore all the others in the thread that show up below it, and click on "Newer" in the upper right hand corner. I can go through ten threads in a few minutes if I feel I don't have anything to add or learn from. I hope these ideas help you.
