Thank you for the kind words Randolfe. I think a lot of members don't know how to start new threads every time their reply veers off the parent subject. That is what causes thread name vs content confusion. So a reminder to all:
You make a NEW mail NOT reply to: <videoblogging@yahoogroups.com> Make an address book entry for that address and use it when your reply is not really about the topic you see in the subject line please everyone. with your TO THE POINT new string name for our OS X and Thunderbird Mail and PC Outlook clients to sort this stuff appropriately. Yahoo will take care of the group tag automatically adding it as all the copies are mailed out. This would help a great deal in keeping the Subject line relevant to content of posts. For example in all of the Katrina discussion, nobody took the time to make a NEW topic with the word "Katrina" in it. Until I got fed up with all the Katrina talk in topics like i/ON etc... NOTE: you cannot delete a subject and change it's name - that will stay in the WRONG string. You MUST make a NEW send with the above address. NOT a reply even if you change the name. thank you in advance for your consideration. In OS X Mail you can search for "compression" inside all the mail. But my point is if we each pay attention to our posts and keep to the subject listed. In fact I'll do it right now. I'm gonna copy all of this - what would have been a reply and PASTE it into a new string called "Mail Subject Format Technique". So I am creating a new string from a reply to an outdated and irrelevant subject line while still retaining the last person's quote which led me to make this new string. -- Taylor Barcroft New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley http://FutureMedia.org On Sep 1, 2005, at 11:37 AM, Randolfe Wicker wrote: > I find the technical discussions here to be invaluable and have > been developing my own files by putting my own title of the matter > being discussed in each posting since "the thread" title would be > repetitive and possibly misleading. > > I've been so busy reading, I haven't even had time to research the > archives of this group.
