Re: [Dorset] Mailing List Support in Thunderbird
I have mine set the similar to Peter, I have setup two folders below inbox, one for Dorset Lug one for Hampshire Lug and auto filter incoming lug mail into each folder. it does not always work as quite often lug mail is left in the inbox. I have the same reply to list button that Peters note (and I have used for this email) Tim H On 21/09/2022 16:29, Peter Merchant via dorset wrote: I have a tab on emails to the LUG that says 'Reply List' It is not present on non-lug emails.

It would be nice if more of the mid-range machines were also sold as Linux compatible (since many of them are to a large extent). The XPS was £1100 but it's a top spec little machine. Definitely the most I ever spent on a laptop (or any other computer come to that) but I can't fault it I went round this loop around 6 1/2 years ago and eventually plumped for the Dell XPS 13 DE (9350). It set me back £1228 and was initially a bit of a pain because it came with Ubuntu 14.04 (which was already 2 years out of date). I put Kubuntu 16.04 on it and the performance dropped through the floor owing to the 'specially crafted kernel' for the Intel i7 processor. Dell's support at that time was non-existent as they 'didn't support Linux', even though they sold it with Linux. Eventually I obtained an installation image from a sympathetic Dell Support Rep (only Windows images were available) and lived with it until the official Ubuntu kernel caught up. Having said all that, the machine has performed flawlessly ever since. The i7 processor isn't going to run out of steam for some years and the memory is an entirely adequate 16 GB. So it may be worth investing in a more expensive model to get the longevity. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2022-09-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
