Although dealing with a mail list annoys me, I will still take this any day over a web based list. They are very slow. Like others have suggested, I filter this list to a separate folder. At first I tried to save the ones that interested me and delete the rest but that got too time consuming. I found tht saving all is best because then I can just do a search for any subject and have the whole history without having to deal with any web search. By this time I have more than a year of this list and I have found many answers by just searching that mail. What I don't understand is why not use nntp instead of e-mail. IMHO it seems that this provides the best of both worlds. Now I am not suggesting the traditional usenet group but something like what Borland uses for their groups. Borland runs their own nntp server that isn't part of the rest of the usenet world. There is not that high noise level that plagues the rest of usenet. Damon Register
