I get much better response to the mailing lists--I'm } more apt to read a mailing list than a news group.

I do the same thing, deleting messages by subject. } Unfortunately, I still have to do them one at a time. I just can't say } delete all the messages with a given subject. I guess this is not viewed } as an email like thing, but more like a news thing. This still takes } up alot of time. Most news software has the ability to turn mail into a local pseudo-moderated newsgroup. So you can have it both ways. You do have to change the list target at your site to something different than your personal mailbox so you can alias it separately. Or you might try Netscape for reading you mail. Last time I looked it was supposed to have the ability to thread mail messages. Richard
