Richard, are you still the moderator of EDI-L listserve? If yes, I seem to
be having problems when replying to messages sent to the group. None of my
replies get through, whether I use reply/reply all, plain text, html, my
primary EDI address or my alternate. It seems that the only message from me
that gets sent on through to the list is if I go directly to Yahoo and post
from the group.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks,
Rachel Foerster

Subject: [EDI-L] <LIST>|Message Filters


As President Bush said last night:  "It is my hope that in the months and
years ahead, life will return almost to normal.  We'll go back to our lives
and routines, and that is good.  Even grief recedes with time and grace."

So will this list eventually as it relates to its discussions.

With that in mind I propose we place message filter identifiers in the
subject of messages that you send to the list.   

These are what I propose:
<SALES> - designates a message marketing your product <JOBS> - designates a
message for a job opening or stating that you are available for jobs <LIST>
- for posting messages or questions related to this list <TECH> - designates
a message regarding technical questions/issues.
<MISC> - for off topic discussions.
<EVENT> - to list an advent such as conference or user group meeting
<PRODUCT> - for posting general questions about a product

Please use a pipe "|" to separate the identifier and the subject.

For example in this message the subject reads <LIST>|Message Filters.  

You may think of this as a pain or picky at first, but you will get better
response to your questions or discussion if we know what category it falls
under before we read the message.  This has also worked out well in another
list that I belong to with much more traffic than this one.  

You can also use these filters with Message Rules in your email program or
the equivalent to sort incoming mail from EDI-L in your inbox, into separate
folders.  If you need help with this let me know.

We are all used to reading EDI anyway so picking an identifier should be
second nature. :-)

Please discuss this over the next week and recommend more identifiers that
you think will be helpful.  I will close discussion on this at the end of
next week and we will put this helpful feature into place then.

Thank you,
