Oh yes, it's not easy, especially for people like me who only read the list every few days. The only way this place is tolerable is because I'm actually on the far side of a mail2news gateway and the newsreader (slrn) has a function to collapse quotes to a single line (T in default bindings). Anyone who's on a Unix system should probably consider putting high-traffic lists into a local newsserver if they can. It's also an easy way for others on your system to get read-only access to them. The filtering and scoring systems of newsreaders are generally far better than mail clients, as they assume that you're only interested in a small fraction of the messages. -- MJR ,---------------------------------------------------- | Q.
