Thanks for the comments all.
However I do already receive individual emails and filter then into an
Elecraft folder which has sub folders for K2, K3, and a folderfor any
messages from Eric, Wayne and Lyle (others can be added to this folder),
this is all auto sorted by my own filters.
The problem seems to be for me in posting or replying ( I have a
googlemail address, is this the problem?) My posts don't seem to show up
and I have to go to Nabble to post which does work.
I'm trying this post in fact via my googlemail account to
[email protected] to see if it shows up, it'a also Ccd. to a
couple of others directly.
If it doesn't show I will post again via Nabble.
I'm looking to simplify my reading and posting to mainly the K3 list and
don't of course want to miss any interesting mail.

Deni and All,
I agree with Don. If your email system allows you to sort your
inbound emails, it can really make life much simpler. I use Outlook
Express and/or Windows Mail (the Vista version of Outlook Express),
which allows me to set up message rules that automatically direct
various emails to various separate folders. There are several ways to
sort your messages, so it's pretty flexible. I simply use the subject
line by having the system divert all messages with the "Elecraft"
designation go to a separate folder. That captures all messages
coming from the Elecraft reflector. I get 40 to 50 messages a day
from the Elecraft reflector (sometimes a lot more), and I can usually
dispose of them fairly quickly by then just perusing the subject line
for each. My delete key gets a lot of work, but it goes pretty fast.
The problem I find with getting "digests" is that when you want to
respond to a certain message, it becomes a lot more complicated, since
not all digests provide a clear method for responding to just that one
message you are interested in responding to. QTH.net is one of those
that makes this difficult. Of course, it would be exponentially more
helpful if folks would pay more attention to the subject line, but
that's a battle that seems to be more like Don Quixote at the
Windmill! Anyway, if you aren't using a method like the one I
describe, you might consider at least trying it.

Deni,
For me, the very easiest method is to receive the individual emails.
I have my mail client sort on "[Elecraft]" in the subject line and
put all that meet the sort criteria into the Elecraft folder of my
Inbox. So I have the equivalent of 'my own little digest', but they
are individual emails.
The messages are all there in my email until I delete them, so I can
respond to any of them - Reply goes to the poster while Reply All
will send it to the poster and the Elecraft list - I can edit the
recipients if that is desired.
I find it quicker to use the delete key on the individual messages
that I am not interested in than to wade through a digest format to
find those that I am interested in.
