Hello Adam, On Sunday, July 28, 2002 at 2:31:46 AM you [A] wrote (at least in part):

If there's a thread I'm absolutely not interested in I do remember the subject (most times) and if there are unread messages in that thread I mark the whole thread read. Why reading 20+ mail, aggregated over night, if they deal with a topic I'm not interested in? In my daily newspaper I skip the sports pages; Because I'm not interested in. If I had a choice I'd leave them out in the exemplar delivered to me, but I haven't. Same with mailing lists: I have no choice to say: "Hey, this thread: not to me.", so I have to mark them read. If this one list would be the only one I'm reading: OK, maybe I'd 'invest' the time and read nevertheless. But I'm subscribed to several lists, not only TB!, but technical stuff needed for my work, etc. So why 'wasting' my time with reading mails of no interest for me? There are enough mails left to be read, even without this few :-) -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1) Einatmen - Ausatmen - Einatmen - Ausatmen - ...242! ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
