Indeed, that is in fact my method of choice for using this list. All one has to do is look at subject headers to asses interest and move on. I usually read everything I want to read and then delete the contents of the folder. There are some drawbacks to this approach [or any client-based solution] though, most notably if you have low size limits on your mail account or if you access your mail remotely on a regular basis (ie. a traveller). Sitting in a hotel room waiting to communicate with Exchange (or worse POP3) becomes rather burdensome when there are 1k+ unread messages in the Struts folder. Overall, still the best approach, but I can definitely see why some people might want to reduce volume. However, I'm not big on the struts-newbie list idea myself. -Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
