Deni and All,
I agree with Don. If your email system allows you to sort
your inbound emails, it can really make life much simpler.
I use Outlook Express and/or Windows Mail (the Vista version
of Outlook Express), which allows me to set up message rules
that automatically direct various emails to various separate
folders. There are several ways to sort your messages, so
it's pretty flexible. I simply use the subject line by
having the system divert all messages with the "Elecraft"
designation go to a separate folder. That captures all
messages coming from the Elecraft reflector. I get 40 to 50
messages a day from the Elecraft reflector (sometimes a lot
more), and I can usually dispose of them fairly quickly by
then just perusing the subject line for each. My delete key
gets a lot of work, but it goes pretty fast. The problem I
find with getting "digests" is that when you want to respond
to a certain message, it becomes a lot more complicated,
since not all digests provide a clear method for responding
to just that one message you are interested in responding
to. QTH.net is one of those that makes this difficult. Of
course, it would be exponentially more helpful if folks
would pay more attention to the subject line, but that's a
battle that seems to be more like Don Quixote at the
Windmill! Anyway, if you aren't using a method like the one
I describe, you might consider at least trying it.

Deni,
For me, the very easiest method is to receive the
individual emails. I have my mail client sort on
"[Elecraft]" in the subject line and put all that meet the
sort criteria into the Elecraft folder of my Inbox. So I
have the equivalent of 'my own little digest', but they
are individual emails.
The messages are all there in my email until I delete
them, so I can respond to any of them - Reply goes to the
poster while Reply All will send it to the poster and the
Elecraft list - I can edit the recipients if that is
desired.
I find it quicker to use the delete key on the individual
messages that I am not interested in than to wade through
a digest format to find those that I am interested in.

This is getting way too complicated.
I have been reading and posting to the Elecraft
reflector, list or whatever
you call it now since 2000 when I discovered Elecraft and
built my K2.
Right now with my K3 I'm getting increasingly confused as
to the
best/easiest way to view and post messages to the
list/forum or whatever
it's called now, and as you can see I'm posting from
Nabble, the only method
that seems to work for me.
Would someone informed please advise the best/easiest way
to view and post
to Elecraft?
I'd rather be playing K3 radio than messing with this
stuff...
