Hi, In message <20120127201817.5A5E2E8B0C@lists.ibiblio.org>, Mary Sue Ittner <msittner@mcn.org> writes >A few people have suggested that it is helpful to create a filter and >a folder for the pbs messages so that they go straight to that folder Most email programs have 'folders' and a way of automatically routing incoming emails in to them. That means all your PBS postings can go somewhere separate from your other emails and you can look through them when you want to. You can even set things up so that bulb exchange announcements go to a top priority folder. If you're using Google gmail. When you have a message on display, you can click on the down arrow (more) to the right of the message header and then select 'Filter messages like this' or click on the down arrow to the left of the message header and select "Filter messages from this mailing list". Both will lead you to a window with a filter set up. Click on "create filter with this search" then 'Choose label' and then 'New label', give the new label a name like 'PBS'. Tick 'skip inbox' and finally 'Create filter'. On gmail, 'label' is the equivalent of folders. >And I remind everyone that it is possible to set your email so you >won't get mail if you are very busy or going to be away and just read >messages from the archives. Go to: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php#Change to change your settings for the PBS list. Enter your email address, click on "Un-subscribe or Edit options", enter your list password on the next page, then scroll down to Mail delivery on the resulting page. -- David Pilling email: david@pilling.demon.co.uk web: http://www.davidpilling.net/ post: David Pilling, P.O.
