The problem is that you'll still see those cries for help in the connection window irregardless of whether a header is added to the mailing list or not. And depending on when you "see" the message, you may still go hunting around for the message those times you catch it a split second before it disappears and all you register is "help". The solutions people are offering you have to do with the amount of time you spend looking for this message. The auto-file log allows you to find that message *very* quickly without hunting through folders. Personally I don't even pay attention to the connection window, because it's normally buried way underneath something else. I also don't use the auto-file log due to the signal-to-noise ratio of email I receive. I just file *everything* (into a large # of folders) and check the important folders first, then deal with the nonsensical stuff later when I find the time. When Emailer receives a new message it does it's usual blink-the-application-menu thing, which tells me new email has arrived, so I poke my head that way and look at the bolded folders. If I have the time I'll read the important stuff, report the spam, and maybe even look at the mailing lists. I'm not offering that as a solution, I'm just saying that's my way of dealing with the deluge of incoming messages. -- Mike O'Connell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft: The company that made email dangerous. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
