There are various ways to deal with heavy traffic lists and you are
discussing one.
I get a lot of messages, though not nearly as many as you. I
usually read them all or most of them because I'm curious and I
would wonder if I had missed anything interesting if I skipped
some. There are, of course, things I'm not interested in and I may
skip.
Since I don't want to skip most messages, I haven't used methods for
managing high volumes of messages. There are certainly ways of
doing so.
One method I know about and that some people may like is that
Groups.io allows you to receive the first message in any thread and
then, I'm not sure how, you have to tell Groups.io that you want to
receive the rest of the messages sent in that thread.
This is related to your discussion. I often see people asking about
something that has been discussed within the last week or two. I
think it is a good idea for people who don't want to read a lot of
mail from various Groups.io lists to use this system. That way, if
they check their messages daily, they would enormously cut down the
number of messages they get and at the same time, know if threads
they are interested in are starting.
of course, topics often drift from the original topic and the thread
continues so this system will cause you to possibly miss discussions
of that sort you would be interested in but it would allow people to
know about many discussions they might miss if they don't follow the
list much because of the high volume of messages on a particular
list.

hi
Gene,
I'm sorry about sounding a bit coarse, but I am on a lot of lists.
I enjoy learning new things. Obviously on heavy traffic lists, I
don't read every message. But using my method of grouping and
filtering, I can literally get between 1000 and 2000 messages
daily and spend between an hour and an hour and a half total in
going through them.
Now i don't know how many times, I have gotten e-mails to heavy
traffic lists from people who say things like: "hasn't this thread
gone on long enough" or "moderators please close this topic."
When I contact them, I find out that they have all their messages
going into the inbox and don't know or could care less about
filtering and grouping.
I guess what I'm saying is that people who won't/can't learn about
such things should be on heavy traffic list or if they are they
shouldn't complain about the heavy traffic.
...And before, I get booted from this list, let me say that's
about all I have to say about this topic--since it definitely
isn't about NVDA.

use of the status bar.

Hi Curtis,
If you filter messages and if you group by conversation,
reading the status bar is a quick way of determining how many
messages are in a particular folder and how many are unread.
This is very helpful if like me, you have 17 mailing lists you
are subscribed to and want to select and read only those
messages from each list you are interested in.

No. The issue now and in perhaps more than one earlier
version is that when you issue the read status line
command, NVDA key end, it isn't read and the announcement
no status line information found, or something very
similar is spoken.

Are you saying the read status line command reads it
and when does it read it, when it is checked or
unchecked. It shouldn't be shown if it is unchecked
and it shouldn't be read.

This may be something NVDA will have to
update. The status bar is still read when
using JAWS. Whether Thunderbird or NVDA
should correct the situation is something
I'll leave to the two sets of developers.

Hi
Group,
Has anyone upgraded Thunderbird to the
latest version 102.1.1? If so, can you
read the status bar? I cannot on my
system: Windows 11, 64 bit with latest
NVDA 2022.2.
