+Not sure how useful it is.
+I have received 25 emails so far in today's ping (and they keep coming).
+Some of them because I am assignee, some because I am reporter, some I am in CC.
+I probably need to take action on few of them but I currently don't
+have time to check which ones so it is likely that I will end up
+ignoring them all...
