<clever, snarky retort removed for the sake of the rest of the list> Here's my present solution, in its entirety: 1. Check email 2. Select all messages on the screen 3. Scan the message subjects, looking for interesting topics 4. Deselect those messages that look interesting. 5. Archive all selected messages 6. Repeat steps 2-5 for each page of messages 7. Read interesting messages Steps 2 through 6, on average, take about 30 seconds total, if I only check my email about every 8 hours or so. If I check more often, it's even less time to do. I'm a lot like you, I like reading interesting things more than the other stuff, but 30 seconds every 8 hours is hardly a showstopper to clean up my mailbox so it's more manageable. Beyond that, I do have one possible idea, but it's not yet fully formed, so I'll keep it to myself for now. -Gul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
