I get more mail than that before breakfast. If you've got the
right tools, it's easy to deal with.
1. Spam filter. Spamassassin is good. If you can add greylisting
to your mail server, you should try that, too.
2. Automatic mail folders. The only mail that ends up in your
inbox should be mail that your ruleset is not certain about.
Each mailing list should get its own folder. Maildrop is easy
to learn.
3. Indexed mail searching. Whatever works with your preferred
mail client. Have cron run a re-index every morning before you
wake up.
4. Mail threading in your mail client. If it doesn't do threads
properly, time to change clients. I like mutt.

With a "modern" system like a bugzilla/forum/tracker/else and their moder options, i can know how many peoples have read it ( 23 answer for 9876 readsfor example ) ... with the mailings list, how many people took relly the time to read it ( as i direct-delete most of he amils i receive ) ...
Who cares who read your mail? Only the answers are important.

This isn't "No", this is "Why are you insisting on the
superiority of a tack hammer in all circumstances when we have a variety
of tools available? Including a torque-calibrated power driver
that works much better on the bolts you are trying to hammer."
