You can pop your Gmail with any Linux / Windows mail reader and
"Windows"? i thought this word is banned?..
use local sorting to put stuff into folders. Best of both worlds, because Gmail still filters the spam.
that is the problem in the first place, i don't have the time to sort stuff into folders, i have college exams coming up soon, and i merely have the time to check my email once or twice a day.. i should probably have started studying earlier =P by the way, this's getting WAY off-topic! lol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yup, studying the part of the Kmail (or what ever you prefer) manual that tells how to have IT AUTOMATICALLY filter the mail into folders so you don;t have to waste your study time. There's lots of ways to do it, but that "[opensuse] inserted in the subject line was made for this purpose. But I don't want to pull you from your finals for a problem you have already solved another way. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, suse recomends (in the FAQ) using the header line: X-Mailinglist: opensuse which is only set for mails coming from the list, whereas the subject line can have the [opensuse] word even if not comming from the list (for instance, on CCed mails). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

While that's true, not all MUAs know about that header. I have lots of filters that filter on the entire string: [opensuse] square brackets and all. Someone remind me what the official name of a square bracket is.....? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

square bracket = square bracket ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket Even though you filter on the entire string, it could still be misfiltered if it is not coming from the list. If it's supported in the software, X-Mailinglist should definitely be used. /Sylvester -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If they don't know, teach them. Ie, they should have the option to use arbitrary headers. Mozilla has something like that, and I'm sure kmail does as well. I can't be precise, I use procmail for all my sorting. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Just for fun I checked Thunderbird and found that the the X-Mailinglist wasn't
