Since March of 2001, there has been almost 27K emails sent to the list. Why the continuous pouring of emails? Maybe another technique has to be developed for people to research problems.
By the way - the separate folder technique works until you take a trip for week and things get back logged. - Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: Assenza, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 8:43 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: all this traffic > Setting up your mail reader to automatically forward STRUTS-USER messages > to a separate folder, and then sorting by thread, is a trivially easy > approach to dealing with volume issues.

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]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
