No, that is not possible with the beginners@perl.org list or mailing lists in general. Mail list server is generally pretty simple in the functions it offers to the subscribers. Instructions for the list server are here: <http://lists.perl.org/list/beginners.html> If you send a message to beginners-h...@perl.org, you will receive a reply listing the functions the server will do for you. One of the things you can do is to get all of the emails with the same subject as a particular message. However, if you don't receive any message except the ones you start, how will you know if there is an interesting message? Anyway, that seems more work than just deleting or ignoring the messages that don't seem interesting. Most lists do not generate 31 messages a day. You can get fewer messages if you ask the server to combine them into a digest. However, that makes replying to a single message more difficult. If you do receive all of the messages, you might find something interesting to read, and you might learn more about Perl or programming in general. Also, you might eventually be in a position to help somebody else. This list is a two-way communication vehicle, with some people volunteering to help out others. It is not a simple help service for those who need help. For that, you usually have to pay money. We are all volunteers here. Trying to help other people with their Perl problems is a good way to learn more about Perl. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
