Some mailing lists are full of valuable tips and technical information -
the Miami mailing list, for instance. I find I often use the search
facility on YAM to dig out some info I vaguely remember reading on a
mailing list months ago.
Other lists, like this one, contain more general chat and are less
preservable.
Sometimes it is less trouble to keep the lot than to make a decision
about every one. Blank CDs are cheap enough.
