Dwayne,
On an e-mail forum, most people get each
message as an individual e-mail. But that clogs some people’s mail
box.
Some people like to receive a single big
message once a day, a “digest,” that contains all the day’s
messages. Then they can paw through it at their leisure.
I’ve found I don’t like the
digest mode because I have to page down, looking for messages in which I’m
interested. As Jim Slade mentioned, too many people reply to messages
letting their e-mail program copy ALL of the preceding message into
theirs. When several people do this, the copied part gets enormous.
That’s a nuisance in individual messages but it’s a pain in a
digest where you have to page down looking for the next new message.
Most e-mail programs have an ability to
follow RULES. I made a new folder inside my inbox. The new folder
is called Ercoupe. Then I made a rule, saying that anytime
[COUPERS-FLYIN] or [COUPERS-TECH] was found in the subject line, the message
would be moved to the Ercoupe folder.
This keeps Coupe messages from plugging up
my main inbox. And, I can just glance at the Ercoupe folder to see if
there are new, unread messages.
As I look through the messages in the
Coupers folder, there are a lot of messages I don’t read. Life is
too short.
Hope this helps.
