You know, I'm not quite sure why I didn't simply decide to use Gmail from
the start. I use it for my main address these days, and love having
everything available wherever I go. I've already wanted several times to ask
a question as it occurred to me at work, and couldn't, as I'd downloaded the
messages into Thunderbird at home, and so had nothing to which I could
reply.
I tried at first to use the Gmail trick of appending some qualifier to the
name. E.g. if I'm [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which I'm not), I would use something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which would still make it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but would
have
the +emc in it as something I could filter into a separate folder. The list
wouldn't accept it, sending it back as having an invalid name. I suppose I
could have simply filtered by 'From,' but I kind of just wanted something
entirely emc-only.
Unfortunately, I still don't really understand all the base thread stuff,
and its related mumbo jumbo. I did get some info that's pushing me farther
forward, however, and it sounds like even the pros in here still need to do
a lot of experimenting to fine-tune everything, test limits, and back off
from found limits. It sounds quite like machining in that respect.
Thanks, Gene.
