Me too also.  Another trick is to add a space before the "save" that
puts it at the top of the stack.

Like Don, I have T-Bird filter my messages into subfolders - top-level
is [Elecraft] and then to K2, K3, KPA, and KX.  K2 is my default.  Makes
it very easy to deal with.

Jim,
I sometimes add a "save" subdirectory to a main directory, if something 
I want comes in, and I want to be sure it is never deleted, I copy it to 
the save folder.


I might look into the auto delete thing I mentioned upthread.

Don,
That is exactly how I do it, and how long I take to trim...  I believe 
you can automate that process using the folder properties...  I tend to 
stay away from auto trimming, but I think it could be done... 
Thunderbird is wonderful...  My only carp is that it won't play a sound 
based on the filters...

Phil,

Right you are!

My email is sorted automatically when it is received (I use Thunderbird 
although other email clients have similar capability).  I put it into 
separate folders with the filters based on something in the subject 
line.  For instance, I use a filter to place all email containing 
[Elecraft] into my Elecraft folder - that gets it out of my Inbox and 
into a folder that could be considered as my own "Elecraft Digest".
I can then read the posts one at a time and delete those not of 
interest, reply to those I want to comment on, or save for future 
reference.  Then I can do a SEARCH if I want to see posts referencing a 
particular topic (or individual).

It gives me a lot of flexibility.

Once a year or so, I trim off all posts older than a year old so the 
folder does not get too big.  I figure if I have not needed anything in 
over a year, I can delete it.


The filtering and searching tools provided by modern email clients give 
one a lot of capability.  It takes a bit of thought to set it up, but 
makes email quite sane and manageable once set up for your needs and 
desires.


Down with the bulletin boards, I can't find anything of value in those!
Nabble is almost as bad, and I don't use it unless I get a link of 
interest, but even then I usually don't find anything valuable there.

was intended to be more of a tech support tool and not a general rag chew 
place. The Elecraft reflector is the only non groups.io forum that I

Re: [Elecraft] Off-topic, but I need help.

2018-12-29 Thread Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT 
I've suggested POPfile, which does naive bayesian filtering -- which is 
almost magical.


Yes, Thunderbird can do a great job, but it won't filter off topic, and 
you have to do a lot of work.


With POPfile, you classify a few messages (KX3, K3S, Antenna, Digital 
Modes, whatever) and the filter "scores" the words from the messages you 
classified, and uses the score to put the message where it belongs.


If it gets one wrong, you reclassify it, and the filter improves.

It does *not* rely on posters to put rational subjects, and it deals 
with topic drift automatically.


POPfile works with real mail clients (with their awesome search capability).

I find it mind boggling that you guys like email for this and find it hard to

It's S much easier.  But I'm terribly outvoted here, so this is my last

Re: [Elecraft] Off-topic, but I need help.

2018-12-29 Thread Don Wilhelm 

Phil,

Right you are!

My email is sorted automatically when it is received (I use Thunderbird 
although other email clients have similar capability).  I put it into 
separate folders with the filters based on something in the subject 
line.  For instance, I use a filter to place all email containing 
[Elecraft] into my Elecraft folder - that gets it out of my Inbox and 
into a folder that could be considered as my own "Elecraft Digest".
I can then read the posts one at a time and delete those not of 
interest, reply to those I want to comment on, or save for future 
reference.  Then I can do a SEARCH if I want to see posts referencing a 
particular topic (or individual).

It gives me a lot of flexibility.

Once a year or so, I trim off all posts older than a year old so the 
folder does not get too big.  I figure if I have not needed anything in 
over a year, I can delete it.


The filtering and searching tools provided by modern email clients give 
one a lot of capability.  It takes a bit of thought to set it up, but 
makes email quite sane and manageable once set up for your needs and 
desires.


Down with the bulletin boards, I can't find anything of value in those!
Nabble is almost as bad, and I don't use it unless I get a link of 
interest, but even then I usually don't find anything valuable there.


73,

"Message board"??   Do you really want to go back to the 1980s BBS days?
Using an e-mail system that downloads to my computer "while the city
sleeps" and sorts them by topic. all untouched by human brain, is much
easier for me.

It is just that too many do not seem to have fully grasped email after about 3 
plus decades. They seem to be content with (and sometimes confused by) HTML.

There are lots of great tools to sort E-Mail.  I've mentioned them before.

What I hate about message boards: someone will sign in, leave question, 
people will jump in to solve the problem -- and the person asking may 
never return to the board.


Message Boards (Forums, whatever) are a pull technology.  You have to go 
to the site to participate.  E-Mail is a push.


If you tire of sorting manually look into POPfile.  I know it's labelled 
as a spam filter, but it can easily sort the K3S and KPA-1500 posts from 
the KX2/KX3 posts, separate antenna discussions into one folder, digital 
modes to another folder, CW to a folder, etc.

I'll second that plea! I hate message boards. Too hard to find past 
topics, follow threads, etc. With an email list I suck down all the

Barry,

Nabble is not controlled by Elecraft, contact the Nabble administrator 
about that problem.
The only email group that Elecraft controls is the Elecraft email list 
from elecraft at mailman dot qth dot net.
