You cannot receive only messages which you yourself posted and their replies (i.e. a "thread"). You can do a "digest" - all emails for the day, sent at the end of the day; "normal" - receive individual messages during the day; "nomail" - don't receive any messages at all (like ur on vacation). I don't know of any mailing list which has a "solicited only" (threads in which I participated) selection. I can envision setting up such a thing, but I don't think anyone has. As an aside, this might be considered a bit "silly". Supposed everybody set such an option? The discussion would be very limited because nobody would ever receive an original email. Some might even consider it to be a bit "rude" - "I can talk to you at any time, but don't talk to me without my permission." . I'm sure that's not your intent. I wanted something like this way back when too. Now, I just use a gmail account which I access via http://mail.google.com instead of "local delivery". > Thanks > -- "Pessimism is a admirable quality in an engineer.
