For those with Gmail, the only way I have found to reduce the amount of
reflector emails that don't interest me is to set up a filter.

The way I do this is to first do a search on the subject I'm no longer
interested in: "K3S Package Discounts" for example. Then, beside the search
field there's a little arrow you can click. The little popup has a "Create
filter with this search" link at the bottom. Click this. The next popup
lets you decide what to do with current and future emails that meet the
criteria. I select mark as read and delete it. I wish it could do more with
the emails but that's another matter. There's a Learn More link if you get
stuck.

You can filter on many other search criteria such as sender. That comes in
very handy.

It almost always works. Sometimes the subject changes a little and usually
the digests where the subject is not changed make it through. I haven't
found a better way but I'm open to suggestions. Unsubscribing means I lose
out on some very relevant and otherwise interesting topics. Maybe another
Elecraft list called Elecraft-BS or something?

Hope some find this helpful. It does reduce the inane conversations that
drag on for hours and days. You may be able to test it with the subject of
this post. It is a perfect example.
