Just saw this in an email about whats new from google... For those of your using gmail this could come in handy to "mute" threads that have become tiresome, boring, etc... Not that we EVER have any of those from the PLUG mailing list, hehe.
Is there a mute button? Have you ever archived a conversation three or four times because you didn't need another update and it keeps popping up in your inbox? Some people call it a 'thread that won't die.' If you're part of a long conversation that isn't relevant, you can mute the conversation for good. Just press 'm' on your keyboard for the shortcut when viewing the conversation, and new messages added to the conversation bypass your inbox . The thread will remain archived. If your address appears in the to: or cc: field, though, the conversation will pop back into your inbox ready for your attention. This is best used when you're receiving mail based on a mailing list. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
