I'm sending a couple "technical" responses, since the topical responses seem to be irrelevant: >one digest is about the same as 30 individual emails Not even close. Especially with short messages, thirty individual messages can be 20-25 times bigger in terms of message size than a single digest. Thirty messages take substantial more time to download, regardless of message size, than a single digest. And for those who pay their ISP per message (common in non-U.S. countries), thirty individual messages costs 30x more. >>- I sometimes check my mail with Pine when I'm at school, I don't >>want to have the messages I really care about (read: not-MD related) >>to be flooded in the MD messages. (set up filters? Eudora (at home) >>won't fetch the messages filtered by Pine in the Pine MD folder, I >>just checked that) > >You probably have it set up incorrectly. Check the previous post I >made regarding how to do it with Eudora. *SIGH* He doesn't have it set up incorrectly. Pine is a terminal-based email program, but one that is estimated to be used by more people in the world than Eudora, since most academic and research institutions still allow every user to check their email using Pine. When you view messages in Pine, and file messages in Pine, they stay on the server -- they are not downloaded to a local machine. When you *file* messages in Pine to a Pine-based folder, they cannot be downloaded by ANY email client, because they are no longer in the POP queue. This is not a problem with Pine -- it is a *feature* designed to allow people to use Pine filters to pre-sort mail so that only certain messages are downloaded by their POP client. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
