Hello, I have two simple suggestions for posters to make list mail management easier. One: type in a subject heading that clearly states what the subject is. Through many replies, the original subject can be left behind, and as a subject goes on, and on, and on, many list members may have no idea what the original post was about anyway. Two: include a quote or a reference in email text that will clue everyone in. For example, a cryptic post like "I liked that doctor too," with no hint as to the identity of said physician, leaves a lot of people wondering: What doctor? I'm a newcomer and I really appreciate having access to this forum.
