Kyle's right! You need to take control of your email program. I'm also using Gmail which gives a user a lot of options. Even as the founder and one of the Admins of this group, *I do not allow Nighthawk Lovers emails to come directly into my inbox*. I'm just too busy to read each and every message. So, everything that comes in from Nighthawk Lovers gets automatically stamped with a "Nighthawk Lovers" label and wisked off to a holding place OUTSIDE my inbox until such time as I have a free minute to check messages from the group. When I do, *everything* in that "holding area" (for lack of a better name) is from this group and I can pick and choose what to read based on the subject line.
It's the only way to go! If you have every message from this group coming into your inbox I don't blame you for complaining. So, take control! :) Paul <http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers> Paul LeBoutillier Nighthawk Lovers Email Group Admin On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 9:57 AM, Kyle Munz <[email protected]> wrote: > I think part of the problem is that some of us are using google's gmail > which does automatically put the messages into different threads.
