I replied to this thread once before, but it went to
the originator instead of the list. I personally use
Yahoo mail for my list serves. I get around 200 email
a day, and I don't always want to download them all.
So I use Yahoo, let it download them for me, then I
can read the headers and delete the ones I don't want
to read. Sure, there are problems with doing this,
like, Yahoo doesn't sort email by thread, but you can
at least create filters and directories for different
list serves. This way, I am always accessing the same
email no matter where I am. I'm sure lots of you have
problems with this, but for a guy using a modem,
downloading 200 email at once is painful.
