But responses show up in the web archives pretty much right away. So for some questions I had I would bounce on the archives to see responses more quickly (it would seldom but sometimes be hours between the post hitting the archives and hitting my mailbox). --keith I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood the OP. Set your mail preferences to send an acknowledgment of your posting. That message will not get helpfully deleted. Then you will know that your posting has made it to the list and, if you followed my first suggestion, you will have a copy of your posting on your other mail account that you can move to your CentOS mail box with a rule. It's clunky as all get out but it works. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That's something I wouldn't mind if I was trying to a) Exit roadrunner dependency 100% and b) simplify things. :-)) Since I'm comfy with searching the centos e-mail lists and/or peeking at my gmail account and seldom believe it was actually *not* delivered, I think I'll just live with it. A suggestion I hadn't considered though and I appreciate that you took the time, which I know is valuable for all of us. Thanks!

I suspected what you describe but was foolishly thinking there must be some setting so I could see my own stuff. I've come to like - or at least tolerate the web interface after a little tweaking of the settings that you can control. Partly because I can access it easily from multiple computers without any setup and it always stays in perfect sync with my phone, and partly because of that search capability. One important thing to tweak for for usability is to advance to the next message on archive/delete instead of wasting time redrawing the index - and that might be in the 'labs' part of the settings. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

After my initial travails after the upgrade, I suspected the same and ran the memtest overnight. All was OK in my case though.
