I have a folder for WSG but 90% of the mail ended up in my inbox instead because the "from field" is actually using the sender's name. Thats when you base your rule on the TO: field ;-)) All the messages here go into the right folder..

Forums are a good tool for organising topics but for some who are too busy to take the trouble to log into forums and check the posts, it is a turn off. I would prefer for the list to remain as it is now. At least I can take my time to read the mails when I have the time to do it. The only downside is that mailing list is that it is hard to organise it to specific folders. I have a folder for WSG but 90% of the mail ended up in my inbox instead because the "from field" is actually using the sender's name. About having different categories of topics, I would go for it only if I am sure that those mails would go to the folders I specify..If not, it would be too confusing for me and I would not know where to start reading from. Lastly I want to say that I love WSG! People are helpful and although it is not a huge list, it doesn't matter. What matters most is the culture/attitude behind the list members. That is the only thing that makes me stay in the list and not to be shy/afraid to show my dumb side when it comes to issue I am unsure of. In fact, I would say that WSG has the best attitude so far compared to other lists. To Russ and Peter...you guys did a great job in maintaining the spirit!

Web browser-based discussion lists are difficult, slow and tedious at the best of times, which is the complete opposite of mail and news groups, which were *designed especially* for threading, replies and message based discussion. Everything related to discussion happens faster and easier with a mail client than it does with a browser. Browser-based discussion has one positive; that being the fact that new subscribers can read old posts and search for topics before posting. This of course can easily be overcome with web-based archives of email lists (which is common anyway). --- Justin French http://indent.com.au ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** . ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
