My two cents: Filtering works with individual mail delivery, but not so good with the digest format. Simply cutting extra dialog or repetitive content from one's message will go a long way. I don't believe there is a need to include an entire thread in every relative reply. Fellas..just snip

Nabble appears somewhat broken. It rarely sorts messages these days, even with a title which includes something like [K3]. For example, the last 8 K3 posts which were placed in the K3 subdirectory date back to Dec 2, and the last 8 P3 posts date back to Oct 2, with only one in Dec and one in
