As an editor and writer, that quantity includes many press releases about new products and technology advances. As to newsletters, the senders make money by including advertisements, so they stuff in all sorts of "news" that makes the newsletter a chore to even scan. I will look at a newsletter with three or four key items, but longer newsletters usually go unread and I unsubscribe from as many as possible. Lack of a clear subject line means an email goes into the trash. I cannot count the number of emails that arrive with a subject line such as "Framostan announces QXF add-on for MG-378 PFMx family of TXZs." Huh? That's another one for the trash bin.

Because I follow so many technologies: cloud computing, wireless, embedded, security, software, hardware, etc, I receive >100 emails/day, not including the incessant spam, of course. I tried the folder route, but that took even more time so I really don't have a solution. Hope someone else takes a moment to contribute. Robert, I am totally in agreement with you.
