I didn't mean the first sentence you quoted below as being derogatory. I think its great that more different people are posting. Of course, if every one of the approximately 4,000 people subscribed to IBM-Main all posted 1 email a day, we would really be swamped. Darren would be crying for more dasd.
I've also used sorting by threads, but Outlook Express doesn't work very well for me when you have 20 or 30 emails that you want to save for a while in my in basket. I haven't figured out how to get all my IBM-Main emails into a folder and keep them going there. I did it when I had Groupwise at work.
