I just enjoy hearing from fellow Cavers. I reiterate my opinion that Texascavers is like a virtual campfire, I listen to what I want, ignore the rest, be polite, make friends, voice my goofy opinions, drink my swill & pee out in the dark bushes.

Hi!

I use Mozilla's Thunderbird both in the office and my laptop. I know, it's a throwback, now that everything is online, but you can set it up to pretty much do whatever you want: leave messages on server, delete messages from server, delete only the ones that you delete, have messages delivered directly to specific folders, group messages by thread, etc. It has a pretty decent junk mail filter, and setting it up is easy.

Even in slow connections, usually I don't even notice when messages are downloaded (unless it's the first time of the day and there are several big files to download, and for really bad connections you can put a limit on the size of files to download). I always have the preview panel on, and it literally often takes less than one second to read a message (especially short replies), delete them and move on to the next one.

OK, 162 words. Clear to go!

I have a delete button like everybody else, but it nevertheless takes a while to delete forty new Texas Cavers list messages that are ten words each. And those worthless little "Me either" messages must be a real pain to those who monitor their e-mail messages frequently or are pestered by their cell phones every time one arrives. At least I see my e-mail only when I
tell my computer to fetch it.

If you don't have at least a couple of complete sentences of new and interesting material to add, how about not replying, or replying only to the original sender? How about a 100-word minimum? (This message is one hundred
seventeen words.)-- Mixon
