I have too much email of my own to go around and read someone else's, email transparency or not. In all fairness I think this is just creating a false sense of openness at a cost of potential severe information overload (or underfiltering).

Don't read it then! But it can still be useful to have a lot of auto-archived email in your inbox -- for example, searching for a name or topic will often pull up relevant threads you otherwise wouldn't have been discovered.

That's what mailing lists are for and it's hardly an innovation.

Yep. Email transparency gracefully degrades into just a plain old mailing list.
