Nope. > The mailing list manager suggests adding a prefix to mailing list messages > as they arrive. Why would I want to do this? It's not suggesting you do it, just giving you the option. Some people like to append the list name to the front of each message and just leave them in the in box. > Since most digests don't arrive with the individual messages also listed as > attachments, is there an AppleScript to extract the individual messages? You can make a rule to burst the digest and then manually apply it to the message. It works for several kinds of digests. If that doesn't work for a particular digest, check out the digest bursting script at www.applescriptcentral.com. > Ideally, I THINK I'd like the digests to arrive in my inbox but get filed > after I read them in a designated folder for the mailing list.

No, there's no facility for automatically filing something after you read it. > One disappointment in importing my email database from Emailer was that EfX > listed EVERYTHING as unread! That's strange, I've never heard of that problem before. Dan -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
