Here's how I do it - it may not be perfect for everybody. I receive mail using Netscape 6.2. I have set up a newbie folder and created a filter which sends mail with "[Newbie]" in the subject line and/or "newbie" in the sender line to this folder. The messages in this folder are sorted by thread. I read those threads which seem relevant to me and delete the rest unread (probably about 2/3). You're right, there is a lot of traffic and I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't have time to read it all -- Graham Watkins For me, morning begins when I realize that the soft warm body curled up next to me is a cat.
