So there's an unecessary email I've just received telling me to go to the forum.

All the time, actually, and I hate clients which thread for me. So I didn't implement that in my email client, (although I generate the headers so others can do it). If I want to see all sqlite emails together, I filter them into a mailbox. If for some reason I wanted the mails chunked together by thread, I can sort the mailbox by subject line. > It’s no faster to open a mail client than it is to open a folder full of forum > bookmarks and scan their contents. > > Fossil forums are especially nice in this regard, since there is currently no > subforum feature, so you don’t have to go digging through them to find out > what’s new.

Bottom line: leave this list as it is. -- Cheers -- Tim _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
