I often find myself deleting full threads after I've read the first few
mails. Sometimes I find that I've accidentially deleted stuff that
would have been interesting to me - because the topic changed in
the thread, but the subject line didn't. So my conclusion is that
ignoring and deleting messages is easier than ever (like you said),
but watching our subject lines might have become more important,
too.
