A workaround for this problem is to subscribe to the digest mirror at
morticia.physics.colostate.edu. This has two advantages: firstly, you can
get the digest rather than individual messages, and secondly, you can ease
the burden on the overworked vger server (and also save some of David
Miller's time). Send mail saying "subscribe linux-kernel-digest <your
email address>" to majordomo@morticia.physics.colostate.edu, and wait a
short while. :)
