You should activate `thread view' in your e-mail reader.  Then you can
simply ignore all e-mails of a thread as a whole.

Additionally, just imagine that there are 70 newbies on the list, and
every one is asking a separate question.  How will you avoid 70
e-mails then?

As mentioned earlier on the list, the number of developers and
experienced users is too small to support both an e-mail list and a
forum.  And since the majority of the developers prefer an e-mail list
(me too, BTW, since it works much better offline), you have to bite
the bullet :-)

On the other hand, why don't you simply scan the e-mail archive at

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user

E-mails are archived within 30 minutes or so.
