bg: I completely fail to understand what your problem is. The elist presents you with a simple list of current messages from this Open Office Users group, which presumably you will have had the good sense to filter and separate into their own email folder with whatever Mac emailer program you are using. In other words, as you may understand, grouping all the messages from this group into one place, apart from your other email traffic. To read a message, you click on it to open it. Why do you need a "reader"? If you want three messages open at once, set your system up to allow you to open multiple message windows. What's the hangup, here?
