Hi Paul. I switched over to the mac about a month ago. It really is such a fantastic. platform. The only things that I use windows for now are Ventrillo and anything flash based that requires me to interact with it. I occasionally use Sonar, too. For me, e-mails from this list say Mac Visionaries in the subject field. I think this is true for most subscribers so it's probably an issue with your e-mail provider. You could try using the to: field as a filter criteria. That should work.
Hope this helps. ]On 7 Dec 2009, at 11:57, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi list, > > Please let me introduce myself in my first message here.
