As an alternative, consider email filters. Filters can be per sender or per keyword, depending on your email system. For instance from Yahoo! email you can block up to 500 senders. http://email.about.com/od/yahoomailtip1/qt/Block_a_Sender_in_Yahoo_Mail.htm Gmail allows you to block senders as well http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8151 Depending on the filtering capabilities of your mail system, you might consider filtering based on specific words. As an example, you could filter on a user name, to avoid mail from a user, and avoid replies sent to that user, too! I can assure you that talk@ becomes a much nicer place with only a few filters. As another example you could filter email with specific keywords so that you don't have to consider reading them, like "license" or "Code of Conduct". Ask your email administrator if you need help with implementing filters. They can improve the quality of the email you read dramatically. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
