Well then maybe a single automatically generated web page with that information updated. I find it really annoying to have to click on each email to find the real subject, just to figure out if I want to read it. The data could be updated as they are emailed, and older data dropped off.

How many of them to really read? How many of them do you ignore because your guess about what it contains is incorrect? Do you really want 100 or so new draft emails that you have to look at, or one summary page?

I used to read all the drafts (early 80's), now I barley read the email subject lines. A really great idea could have been published with a bad draft name, so nobody read it.

I am more interested in the application working groups, but I have to read each email to find the group.
