Hello Lawrence, This is a good question. I actually filter the headers, anything to do with debian-user is put into a special folder. I am using kde and the latest email client (kmail) has a really nice search feature I'm really enjoying.
I was a new user, now I'm only a new user. I feel that way all the time even though I have been using only debian for way over a year now. This list has shown me some great things about linux I don't think I would have ever found any any manual, book or hints & tips manual. It really is up to you in the end. You might find it too much to deal with and remove yourself from the list. I really enjoy it though. I have seen some amazing people talking about amazing things and some day, when I grow up perhaps will find myself actually knowing what the blazes is going on! <grin> I really count on this list for technical help when I'm in a pinch > Like when I discovered how powerful 'rm *' was... <argh, bad night> Some days, I just delete it all, while other days I find all sorts of great tricks and information. You're right about Eudora. I had several large folders and lost mail a few times, but the latest copies should work well for you - look in your help for "filters". Good luck, and I do hope you find this list helpful and amusing. tatah On Tuesday 28 November 2000 21:34, Lawrence H.
