[WED]Quantity of messages

[Michael Tutton]

At the risk of losing members, I would like to see the interactions
continue.  I haven't looked at the information yet, but in the future I will
compare what has been exchanged with my information and I expect that there
will be a link, or two.

Having said that...the list belongs to the people, so we'll continue this
thread to get an idea as to what the group would like to do...then we'll do
what most people want.

Below are a couple of suggestions to help people deal with the volume of
emails to the list.

One suggestion is to change your receiving option to the "digest" mode,
which sends you the emails in a group, rather than one at a time.

Also, I have set my email program up with "rules" which automatically send
emails to predetermined folders.  For example:  The Wedmore list has a title
header in every email that looks like this: [WED]

You can create a new folder called "Wedmore" and then create a "rule" that
tells the program to send every email with "[WED]" in the subject to that
folder.  That way you can read the Wedmore emails at your leisure.

Thank you all for your support and I hope you have a great New Year.
