[Elecraft] [OT] Maintaining Sanity With Filters

[Dauer, Edward]

I am with Wes on this, who states more effectively than I did what I meant in 
my original post – that in my experience there is gold all over the place, and 
the titles of many posts are neither highly specific nor highly sensitive.  
Sometimes it’s like copying a CW signal that’s well below the noise.  Any op 
can do it; and it’s often worthwhile.

Ted, KN1CBR

Your tolerance level for off topic posts is different than many.

[Dave Cole]

Thanks for sharing, I think I will add some filters along those lines as 
well.  My filters are rather simple now, but I see I will need to make 
them more complex to avoid all the off topic posts.  Thanks for sharing!

All of my filters run on any new mail and move the mail to the 
respective folder. Any email that doesn't get moved ends up in a generic 
"Elecraft" folder with two strikes applied. If the mail wasn't sent by 
Eric or Wayne they're gone. Strike three.


It all gets sorted and moved automatically. I don't have to touch it and 
don't ever see the emails the filters have deleted unless I check the 
trash before cleaning that out. It's usually right click and "empty 
folder".

How do you make the decision to filter or delete then?  I ask not to 
be contentious, but to learn how for my own filters.  I don't want to 
have to set filters in real time for every OT post, but a general 
filter would be great.

You could post the cure for cancer and if you can't follow the 
"rules" as set up by Elecraft my mail reader will auto-dump your 
scofflaw email.


It works.

Interesting subject. I don't seem to have trouble with the "filters" in my K3S. 
So I just deleted this thread. Now I see it is about "email filters". Duh, who 
knew?

A more descriptive subject might have drawn me in. This is something I might be

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Maintaining Sanity with Filters

[Jim Brown]

I read a couple of dozen email reflectors, and have for years. Some have 
almost no traffic, some have a lot. Early on, I set up my email client 
(first PM Mail, now Thunderbird) to sort incoming mail by reflector. 
That simple process makes it very easy to read stuff. If there's stuff I 
don't care about, I simply delete it. For the same reason, I don't use 
Digest modes -- it's too hard to browse and delete.


Over the years, I've learned a lot in unexpected places and and at 
unexpected times. :) If I simply trashed stuff without reading it, I 
would have missed a lot.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Maintaining Sanity with Filters

[Kevin Stover, AC0H]

I have a filter setup for OT posts.

If the sender of the email puts OT or [OT] in the subject line a 
required by the Elecraft guidelines my mail program will automatically 
move that email to an "OT" folder which I peruse at my convenience.


All of my filters run on any new mail and move the mail to the 
respective folder. Any email that doesn't get moved ends up in a generic 
"Elecraft" folder with two strikes applied. If the mail wasn't sent by 
Eric or Wayne they're gone. Strike three.


It all gets sorted and moved automatically. I don't have to touch it and 
don't ever see the emails the filters have deleted unless I check the 
trash before cleaning that out. It's usually right click and "empty folder".

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Maintaining Sanity with Filters

[Fred Jensen]

And it works with more than this Elecraft list!  It seems many folks 
become deeply enamored in making their filters perfect.  I can hit the 
delete key for all the ones that escape my filters in far fewer 
keystrokes than what setting up perfect filters takes.  Elecraft list is 
easy ... while not adhered to religiously, many [most?] subject lines 
contain the product(s) that the post pertains to.
