I'm confused...
Me too.
How does one do that on a Single email account that is used for a variety of things? (Not Just this list).
Perhaps by using filtering software such as procmail that recognises things like "[opensuse]" in the subject line. Or perhaps, as I do, more complex recipes that work at multiple levels, deal with "lists" first. Then again, this is the second decade of the 21st century and we have many choices. Mine is to pay $15/year for my own named domain and $10/month to Dreamhost. This isn't a plug for dreamhist, however they do give me unlimited subdomains, unlimited mail accounts and pretty much unlimited storage that I can use in place of the "cloud", all for that $10/month. I've experimented with few accounts and lots of procmail fitlering; with a single account called "list" for all the lists and lots of procmail filtering. Now I'm trying one email account per list as you can see from my posting address and comparing it with years ago in the archive. Each has its benefits and downsides. Some are suitable for some lists and the conventions there, not all of which are as Linda or Chris consider to be "The One Correct Way". There is a great deal of diversity out there. There are a few of things here. 1. There is no one right way to do things. 2. I've got lots of choices about how I can do things. I'm not stuck with just one for all time. 3. I prefer a proper keyboard and a proper MUA to the phone on-screen keyboard and thumbtyping. 4. I prefer a proper MUA to the limited options of a web based emailer. 5. I have lots and lots of email accounts, even beyond those available at my personal domain and I can choose to use them, apply filters and promail rules in a wide variety of ways. I agree with Larry Wall: there's more than one way to do things. And implicit in that is that there is no one right way. Unless you have religion, and are obsessive about it, there are no absolutes. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
