Ken, You shouldn't have gotten 70 separate e mails if parkinsn digest was actually set. Check it again. I don't use the digest but skim through the posts rather rapidly with a heavy finger on the delete key. After a while you get to know the subjects and the contributors you wish to spend time reading and those you don't, Sometimes I just glance at a post to be sure there is not an issue that I want to read about or comment on and some I choose to read closely and save. It is easier to delete in the standard mode raather than the digest but you have to weigh that advantage against the inbox becoming too cluttered. Welcome to the list and I hope you find a way to sort through the list so you don't get overwhelmed and leave us. Trying to keep the volume manageable has been a consistant issue heere on the list Kenneth McKeown wrote: > > Hi!
