One obvious solution is to split the list into several, more specialised lists. It's far from obvious, at least to me, how to do that with this list though. Personally I try to read the first post in every conversation thread. If it doesn't grab be then I delete the whole thread. Not an ideal strategy, but it helps me keeping my day job ;-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus
