GL: posts to list

[Gregory Han]

I offer some advice
I think that digests are a bad way to get this info
If you have regular internet access - not just when you walk with your
laptop to a wifi connection spot- i suggest you get a google email
account at gmail.com (or use yahoo or other site). You would access
the email with a browser rather than a email reader such as Outlook


Then you can get the headers for the messages in a list that shows
replies and the repeated text is at the bottom of the message and you
never have to see it.  In gmail the replies are hidden often and you
must click on a link to see the hidden original mail. You also will
see almost no spam since gmail filters it out automatically.

If you use outlook or similar then set a filter in the program to send
all email from a text tag like "GL:" in the subject line to a separate
directory folder so that it will not interfer with your regular email.

To me the only reason to protest the longer emails containing replies
- in this day and age- is of you are using a VERY slow service such as
sailmail.
