Anders,
explain?
There is NO search tool for the mailing list archives. Other than maybe Google, which tends to be kinda spotty.
Then they should learn about filtering. I once had occasion to actually see in person someone who complained about the high volume. It turned out that he put all his mail in the inbox, he had no clue that he could create folders and automatically filter list mail into them. No wonder it got to be too much. If I had dumped everything into the inbox, I'd be crying like a baby after a week.
I am filtering this all to a folder, and it's still too darned much ... > 70 messages a day. I'm subscribed to about 18 different mailing lists, and my 30MB mailbox fills up fast, even without this list. So I'll be unsubscribing as soon as I finish with the issues I'm currently interested in. Which is a shame, since I have enough experience to help some people. But I can't waste time deleting dozens of messages a day to do it. And, what if they joined this list to ask for help about filtering? Or if they're on a dial-up connection, where each e-mail takes 30 seconds to download? -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
