Paul, like you I too am a "lurker". I wholly agree with your comments.
Separating mails into folders works but for people like me who are members of several technical forums it's a pain to go hunting. I like to see my mails on the day they arrive and in one place, recognise the value of each immediately, delete those I don't want (most!) and store the rest for reference and write ups. I've probably deleted quite a few dia mails as spam simply because without the list tag they appear to lack relevancy when looking at 500 or so tagged mails received each day. Adding a [dia] list tag would follow what seems to have become a list standard. Mike A.
