Wow - 47 emails. Thank goodness for Gmail's threading. I agree that rules are for the good of all and I've never been on a list without rules. Also, I think a lot of the "nonsense" emails can be solved with doing a simple google search or searching the group archives - there is a lot of good information locked in previous reponses (such as the SERO information I was looking for last week).
Anyways - as far as the alerting, I would think this is just a forwarding rule sent to the Treo's SMS address ([EMAIL PROTECTED] for example). What I would like to know, though, is what is the best server/platform to use for creating these rules? I use gmail and it offers a lot of options (esp. now with IMAP), but priority, follow up, read receipt, etc. are not available.
