This is working beautifully, actually. I selected "Email updates to me" for this thread as a test and have received an email to my Google inbox for every subsequent response. My Google email goes to my phone, which then also notifies my Fitbit, so I'm suddenly hyper-aware of everybody's thoughts on this topic.

I sometimes use Google Groups to access a thread because, for example, it displays all responses chronologically regardless of the thread branching - makes it easier to print or forward complete feedback from you all. I poked around there and found an "Email updates to me" topic option that *might* accomplish what you're looking for.

To give it a try, go to a topic (e.g., the URL for this one is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bit.listserv.ibm-main/qlwJxFzmo_Q ), click that tiny down arrow under the topic title (the hover text calls it "Topic options"), and select "Email updates to me." I clicked it and see that it doesn't seem to have any additional options, so I suspect it just emails your Google account every time there's a new post in a thread. It's worth a shot, I guess.

I *think* what he is asking for is what other forums (apple comes to mind), is that when you submit a question, or reply to a question, you are automatically "subscribed" to that thread, and get any and all updates via email to that thread.   I don’t think that LISTSERV has a way to do that.

**CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL**

**DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails**

I believe you can email LISTSERV with:

SET IBM-MAIN NARCISSIST

OK, just kidding...but seriously, what is the point here?
