Hi, John,
Hi Alex
One of the benifiets of emailers such as Thunderbird is that they have
brilliant email filters built in to them.
<snip>
So very quickly afterwards, I created a folder just for
[libreoffice-users] and I filter into that folder any email with that in
the title.
I've hated every mailing list I've ever used, although there are few
of them. :-) I find keeping track of which emails related to which,
subject wise, very hard to do. Frustrating, actually.
Likewise, I hate the basic way forums (the Nabble interface... ick!)
are set up. The design usually wastes a lot of space on my monitor
that rarely relates to finding answers to a problem.
I was about to unsubscribe, when I read an email about accessing the
mailing list via http://www.gmane.org/. It allows you to have
read/write access to the mailing list, but the user "sees" a newsgroup
style of interface. And I use Thunderbird for that. I really like it!
It not only gives you the advantage of your email filter, i.e. all the
LO emails are in a "folder", they are also sorted by "subject" and
threaded if you desire.
I hope this makes sense. :-) Feel free to send an email if you wish,
I could then send you a screenshot if you'd like to see what I'm
trying to explain.
To be fair, the Gmane interface is on the LO website, but it's not
well explained, and for me wasn't easy to find. I read about Gmane
from the email list prior to finally finding the reference to Gmane on
the LO website.
I put my OS info in my signature file via Thunderbird.
Doesn't the threaded view of emails in Thunderbird achieve the same as
subscribing to gmane. I have all incoming email related to LO filtered
into a folder and if it switches to threaded view it looks just the same
as the view in gmane, but without the need for another account.
