Please note this email from Barbara. Can't we do something to make the digest useful? Marion
From: Barbara Leff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 5:20 PM To: Stein Marion; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ha-Safran]: HASAFRAN digest 3842 Hi Marion and Joan, I looked at the Hasafran Digest and came to the same conclusion as you - scrolling and scanning takes a lot of time. So, I'm back to getting each individual item separately. Here's what I do. First, I scan the list and delete those I know for sure are not relevant. Then, with the remainder, I just hold down the shift key while clicking on 5 postings in a row starting with the oldest to highlight them. While shift key is still down, I doubleclick on the 5 highlighted items and the 5 postings open on my screen simultaneously. Then, I quickly scan -- those I don't want I click on "delete", those I want I can either read now or just close the email and go back to it later. I can go through lots of postings very quickly this way. (I've never tried more than 5 - but I'm sure it would work.) I'm retired now - so much of Hasafran is not relevant except what I can glean for our AJL of So. California website, of which I am webmaster. So, I know the frustration of wasting valuable time. Good luck. Barbara Barbara Y.
