Hi,
A nice thing about getting all the messages individually is that you can (in most email clients anyway) view them as collapsible threads. By sending all ccp4 messages into one folder and in that folder viewing only the threads that contain unread messages I get a current 'digest' of all subjects since I last read my emails. It is therefore better than daily - it updates as often as I read my emails.

The only downside is an occasional hiccup when the threads get confused (perhaps when a poster modifies the subject heading of a reply?)

Hope this helps
David

Hi,

.. yes I could, but then i have to remember to look at the messages in that folder, instead of only the ones that arrive in my inbox.

these digest format messages  are very common on email lists these days,
and i am subscribed to nearly a dozen of them. I find it is the best solution to
not having 300 new messages in my inbox every morning,
but still getting all the info, as you can look through the subject list of the messages in the digest email
and see at a glance which messages you want to read.

It is much more efficient, especially when you are subscribed to many lists like I am. All the other lists I am on run using MailMan I think which has this option.

Hello Dr. White,

Depending on which mail client you use, it may be possible to obtain
such functionality on your end. If your client does filtering, you could
have it look for the [ccp4bb] in the subject line and send those
messages to a special folder.

I am subscribed to this great list, full of very useful information.

I wonder if it might be possible to receive the emails as a daily
digest,
as is possible for many other mailing lists,
such that one receives a single email containing all the messages
once a day.

That way there are many fewer messages to go through one by one as
they arrive in our mail boxes.

I am subscribed to many other lists, and find this function very
useful in managing the daily flood of potentially useful information.

Might that be possible?
