How do I use a mailing list effectively?

2 points by Siira 6y ago ↗ HN

I want to use a mailing list like I use Github Issues; Opening one 'issue', getting the replies to that, and NOT getting any superfluous stuff. How can I do that? Case in point being zsh's mailing lists http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Arc/mlist.html.

One-up the competition with your lead magnet by making it bigger and better. ... Add content upgrades to your blog posts. ... 3. Make some of your content gated. ... Host webinars. ... Host a giveaway. ... Create a quiz and require that participants enter their email address before they can download their results.

Use mail filter rules to discard all messages from that list unless subject matches the thread you care about.

I used to use procmail to pick out any incoming replies to particular posts and send them on to another mailbox so they wouldn't be lost in the noise.
