Just about all of the sorters allow you to specify criteria that include CONTENT of the email. That's what does it for me in a lot of these, e.g. If title contains KPA500 OR text contains KPA500 then x. But the other thing is to read it in the Nabble gizmo at

So, you want a separate reflector for each Elecraft product. That would be K1, K2, K3, P3, KPA500, KX1, KX3, KAT500, and then there are the myriad other little products too. And, the list keeps growing (hopefully). And, what if I have a question regarding the K3 and the P3 -- would I post to

Don't get the digest. Set the reflector up to send you individual emails, and then set up filters so that you see only what you want to see. Should it be Eric and Wayne's responsibility to set up individual reflectors because people are unwilling to figure out how to filter their own emails?
