I don't understand. Sorting by thread in Thunderbird keeps every subject separate. Am I missing something?

Setup a unique gmail username specifically for subscribing to the computerguys. DON'T download it to Thunderbird - read it by logging in online, where gmail will group the messages by topic, with the primary sort by most recent time-stamp. When you encounter a thread that doesn't interest you, move on the the next topic. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Good answer. Terrible subject line. Especially now, as the thread that ate the CGUYS list continues, it is important to have the correct subject line on replies. To change the application for a single file, it's very similar to the windows situation. Right-click on the file and in the popup menu select the application from the Open WithÖ menu item. Or, open the application and drop the file icon onto the application icon in the dock. To permanently change the application that opens all files of a given type, select a file of that type and Get Info on it (using the File menu or command-I or by right-clicking on it). Expand the Open With: section of the Info window if it is not already expanded (click on the right-pointing triangle), select the application you want to use from the menu there, then use the Change AllÖ button. If you do this to use Preview to open PDFs instead of Acrobat Reader, PDFs will open much more quickly, and as a recent thread pointed out, you can do copy/paste from some PDFs with Preview but not with Reader. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

As I've said before (but not recently), I get the list in digest form and have to paste in the subject line manually. Sometimes I forget. I apologize for doing it again (as I have apologized for doing it previously). It would be horribly distracting for me to get each posting as it comes in, particularly with the current discussion raging on spouting bad economic arguments that are painful for me to read. Hence, the digest. Anyone else feeling the same way about that discussion may want to consider switching to digest for a while, and just scroll past the nonsense at their own convenience. There are so many postings, the digest is arriving quite frequently, so using it won't put you very much out of sync. Good answer. Terrible subject line.
