Instead, I subscribe to it as an NNTP newsgroup, gmane.emacs.orgmode at nntp://news.gmane.org/, which I view in Gnus. This keeps the incredibly active conversation and development of org-mode (which is a very good thing!) in a separate corner of my computing life from my email. From there it's easier to narrow down what's relevant to org-mode topics I have an interest in, and I can also leave newsgroup to its own devices when I don't have time to look at this list. -- William Gardella J.D.
