Hi guys. I'm as much responsible for this thread as anybody else so let me just throw in 2 cents. I'm not sure what the difficulty is with deleting OT mail. Of the four lists I am on, this one generates the least mail and pressing the "delete" button on OT treads or the 100 or more mail from other lists that aren't of interest to me is incredibly fast. Within one reading of a thread (SCO vs. IBM, rants about the war, the latest linuxandmain, where's Skippy, whatever) I know if I want to nuke it by default or not. No software, no filter, just the delete button in kmail. As fast as my finger can punch the button. To me, the OT stuff is often a great laugh and sometimes it's a little stupid. But that's what makes this list worth hanging around; it consists of real humans that are also real experts (me not included). By the way, did anybody find Skippy? Does not sound good. -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd Rather Be Sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
