How carefully is the provided evidence examined by the Consulate?

Timeline

My wife and have currently have over 1600 emails between us, going back 26 months. Obviously, I can't included printouts of every email in my submitted evidence. But I was thinking of including an email exchange from the first of every month (plus a few more just before and after my visits to see her), going back to the beginning of our relationship. This would provide a random sample of the way my wife and I interact with each other. In these emails, we refer to all sorts of things we've done together (including intimate things) and will do together, and we express feelings about each other, our families, and our friends. This information makes it abundantly clear that we're a real, married couple. And the fact that these emails go back over such a long time, it would be absurd for the Consulate to contend that all of this information is fake.

I also plan to include a full listing of the subject lines, dates, and sizes of of every email (this takes up about 40 pages, so far).

But one concern I have is: Will the Consulate Officers really look at and read all of this information? There is over 100 pages of text in just this subset of emails. Can I really expect that these emails will be read and believed?

We had it very easy and as long as you have everything in order you should sail through the process.

if you get it in prior to interview day, GUZ IV will review it before the interview.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
