One way to make the task of managing email even more of a pain is to reply to a massive digest without changing the subject.
On lists that I manage, I treat comments that manage to make this basic error with extreme caution. As in, I ignore them.

Good morning guys ;)
An opinion from newcomer - like all of you , I am sure, I don't have much time with already a myriad of working emails to answer . So to spend time scrolling and scrolling through stuff which I am not interested to find the information that is relevant to me, is a pain
Jo maybe you could put a banner in the beginning, together with the subjects lines , explaining that replying to the message will get to all the list , and that unless it is relevant group if people could restrain from personal messages? That way you can be sure that everyone will see it. This is a great maillist but has the risk of becoming more a box of spam mail than an extremely relevant tool like it is now
Best
Catarina
