hi laurie you wrote, in part: >One of the things that I used to find so VERY frustrating >about receiving the listserv, was that I had to search >through it to also find my personal mail from family, >friends, business associates, etc.... OPTION ONE this problem can be solved by some e-mail software programs; i use eudora light, which is available free on the internet it has quite a sophisticated 'filtering' system for automatically filing or sorting incoming and/or outgoing e-mail messages into different 'mail boxes' [i.e. directories or folders], sight unseen, no effort required it's quite slick OPTION TWO another approach to tackling the pd listmail volume 'problem' is to change your subscription settings from the regular default MAIL setting which sends you all the mail as individual messages as they come in to the DIGEST setting which collects messages [ergo - a slight delay] and sends them out as one or two or three 'lumps' per day OPTION THREE a third option which may seem insignificant at first is to change your subscription settings from the regular default LONGHDR [long headers] setting which includes all the 'gobble-dee-gook' header lines in each message to the SHORTHDR [short headers] setting which only includes only 'human-friendly' header lines janet janet paterson - 51 now /41 dx /37 onset - almonte/ontario/canada [log in to unmask]
