I do this for a departmental mailing list that we maintain. The list isn't used that much, and when a message arrives it looks like it comes from an individual. A couple of times I've accidentally replied, thinking it was a message from a colleague; of course, the reply goes out to everyone -- which can be dangerous! So, when a message comes from this list, I add a prefix "FROM THE LINGUISTICS LIST!!!" and set the category to one that is colored red. This gets my attention enough that I hopefully won't embarrass myself! -- Sherman Wilcox -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
