You use Outlook which, despite its many shortcomings, does have a relatively decent set of filters. I think they're called Rules in Outlook. Check under the Action menu when you open an email from the PDML. There should be an option for creating a rule. You can either follow the prompts if they feel sensible or wing it, but what you want to end up with is a rule which filters everything from [EMAIL PROTECTED] into a separate folder. *ALL* mail from the PDML will have the same To: address or the same Reply-to: address. Use these to filter it. Really, you should learn to use rules of this kind to filter as much of your email as possible, especially if much of it is routine 'general office info'. In my last company, I had a set of rules which put all the 'sent to everyone' stuff in one folder, the virus alerts in another, anything sent from personal friends in a third, the corporate newsletter in another, etc, and only stuff sent specifically to me landed in my inbox. This cuts down on the interruptions due to email tremendously, as you know that the only things which are for your explicit and personal attention are those things which are either from your friends or those things which are for you personally. Your mail-thingy goes "You've got mail!" and you can just flick to it with alt-tab and see if it's just routine stuff or sent to you personally. dave - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
