I don't know how to explain this without being very wordy. Since I explained it before, I'll just cut and paste:
What I don't like is seeing my mail come in (lets say I am downloading 90 messages from one email account, 20 from another and 30 from another) and I am working in the backround, but I keep one eye on the Connect Now window and I see a subject line called (pulling a few that pulled my eye over the last few months from CE list) "Re: Questions" or "emai/url links" or "Where are you ??" coming in among those 150 or so messages (yes I get a lot of mail, and I do check it often). I have a lot of mail actions and I am not always sure where to look for incoming mail (LOL!). But, I *am* concerned that the "Where are you ??" message is not showing up in my inbox. Who wants to know where I am? So now, I have to look through my logs, or look into multiple folders to see who wants to know where I am. Finally, I find in either in my logs in my CE folder. On other lists that I am on, they all have the [] in th subject line, and I know when I see those rolling in, I don't have to even think about it. I know they are being filed in the right place, if I see the [] I just ignore the message. When I scan the subject lines as they are coming in, I am only looking for personal emails or business emails. That is why a mail action does not adress it. It happened again for me with the "Too Dumb" subject line as well.... Anyway, I'll live if we don't change it. Evie Lehnert N. Riegel wrote: >Lehnert N.
