Many of us deal with this by creating a message rule that filters the unimportant list mail to a folder to be read at leisure.

I have procmail rules which filter particular e-mails to particular folders which I check once per day, but for the mailing list in normal operation I prefer to receive a (sort-of-daily) MIME digest in my main inbox.

I have two rules which divert mailing list posts to two folders when I am on holiday (so I can check the main inbox remotely with less messages): one of them is actually linked to /dev/null and is for what I call "secondary" lists, the other one collects the posts of the "primary" lists to be read when I return.

It is also possible (at least in mailman lists) to set one's own subscription to "nomail", but if one has many lists, it's too boring to do it (and reset it later) for each list, easier to filter collectively.
