Also there is the solution to follow all or part of a forum with rss. I prefers rss as: it does nt stress as the email, i can follow everything, i can click on the title to see the text if the title interesting me. In forum i have to click on a subject but it takes a lot of time to see the topic in a new page -- Dimitrios Glentadakis
