Sometimes i forget to look in the folder for a few days and miss things i wished i'd seen earlier. Also, given the volume of stuff discussed by CSS folks, it's a pain to clear out junk that i don't need to see, so it tends to build up, slow down my mail retrieval, lengthen time machine updates etc. If i get one email per new issue i can receive it in my inbox, so i'll see it right away. If i decide it's interesting i'll subscribe to the issue, if not i delete it straight away and don't have to worry about a deluge of follow-on mail that needs to be ignored and deleted at some point. If i decide to keep copies of the mail i'm interested in, i don't have to search for it in a huge pile of other stuff. And so on. ri
