Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Isn't there the possibility to mute a thread in gmail ? You need to activate keyboard shortcuts, then "?" gives you a list of keys. m seems to be used to mute a thread, but I didn't try it so I don't know what it does exactly.

Muting applies a 'mute' label and removes any future emails from your inbox. However, it doesn't change the read/unread status. If I were to try to tackle this problem in Gmail, I think what I would do is try to create a filter which makes only emails sent to both gwern0@gmail.com and haskell-cafe@haskell.org, say, and have the filter remove from inbox & mark read matching emails. So in theory I'd only see the one copy sent by haskell.org. (If one can't directly match on being sent to 2 addresses, I'm sure there's some more indirect approach using labels and multiple filters.) There's also 1 or 2 mailman options which do something similar with suppressing duplicates. -- gwern
