John, Since I switched to Google free email, it has been a lot easier to manage my email. This particular thread of 5 emails came bundled with your email address and the subject displayed. If I wasn't interested, I could have deleted all 5 without reading even one of them. After reading through them, I decided to archive them. (Google gives you 1GB of storage and encourages you to archive your messages on the theory that if you have plenty of storage, you won't have to spend so much time deciding what you want to keep and what you want to delete.)
Shortly after archiving this thread, it dawned on me that gmail might be of interest to you. I couldn't remember your email address or the subject, but one of Marta's german words, "andere" stuck in my brain, so I searched for it, and up popped Marta's email. I've been using Gmail for about a month and I've used up 1MB of the 1000MB allotted to me. If you want me to send you an invitation to a free email account from Google, let me know.
