Get a better email client then, one that can sort you mails in threads 
and/or by subject. Sorry, but hotmail is not a good way of handling a

Read the subjects of emails, skip reading those you do not want to read. 
This is harder when you are on digest, I know.

If there is to be a forum, I'd like Elektron themselves to set it up.
