The filtering? or the hand thing originally described. If you mean the filtering. I use it constantly for various things. 1. Certain people in my organization tend to "forget" things so I have my replies to them get copied into the folder with their message. At work, eveyone gets filtered into a folder (A-Z) by their first name, so all the Seans go in with the Senidas, Sams, Sarahs etc. So when I want to just limit my view to the Sams to show message threads when they "forgot" something I just Alt-Click Sam's name and all I'm left with is our conversations. 2. I get a lot of newsletters from various places. Sometimes I never get a chance to read them for a few weeks (some are daily newsletters), so I Alt-Click the name of the newsletter, highlight them all and press delete. It makes for a very quick way to get rid of messages from the inbox. 3. I am subscribed to multiple mailing lists, and the same thing happens where I don't get to read anything for a week, so I Alt-Click the first unread message in the folder, highlight them all, and then mark as read. You can right click a folder and mark the whole folder as read too, but I just prefer doing it this way. -- __ ____ ____ ____ TBUDL/BETA/DEV/TECH Lists Moderator / PGP 0x6C0AB16B ( ) ( ___)(_ _)( ___) TBUDP Wiki Site: http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/tbudp )(__ )__) _)(_ )__) Roguemoticons: http://PCWize.com/thebat (____)(____)(____)(__) PCWSmileys: http://PCWize.com/thebat/pcwsmileys.php Tagline of the day: See - the thing is - I'm an absolutist.
