Not Theresa, but is the list generally this busy and this contentious?

Just kill file (message rule) anything from the list that has
"Christian" in the re line and it's pretty manageable - grouping
by conversation works pretty well too - one click of the delete
button does the trick.

Thank you - I need to find out if this will work with a digest
subscription. Eleven digests yesterday was a bit much!

We manage a fairly high volume of e-mail here daily, using
Outlook Express. I find that digests are only useful to me for
announcement type lists.

What we do - and you may be able to adapt - is to create a folder
for different types of messages. All of unschooling goes into
one folder. If there are a bunch of messages in that folder, I
select "group by conversation" and then poke a little way into
the conversation. If it interests me, I will read it. If not,
collapse the conversation back into one entry and delete in one
click. Digest lists go into folders according to interest area.
When I have time for the interest, I go to that folder. Business
and web site stuff goes into folders for each. You have to play
with the message rules and the order in which they are applied
sometimes, but it keeps the high volume from becoming a time
sink.

I have used the same general method with several different e-mail
programs and while the terms used may vary, the approach of
sorting before seeing works like a charm in all of them I have
used.

I'm beginning to see reading digests won't work for this list. I tried
digests so I could easily print and carry around my reading while keeping
track of my toddler. Now that my printer isn't working, I need to go back to
individual emails. I thought yahoo had a way to block what is sent out from
a group, but that doens't seem to be the case. Thanks for your help.

You can edit your membership to each group you belong to at the MY GROUPS
page on yahoogroups. Change your setting to NO MAIL.. Then you can read the
posts at the group's main site at your leisure.

Right I've seen that, but I'm lazy and I dont' want to have to remember to go
to the site. LOL I thought there was a way to block certain topics from
being sent, but I guess there isn't. No biggie, I'll deal.

Your email program will likely do that. You can filter subject lines or
senders right into your trash.

I don't get any emails from the list at all. I just read the list
and post from the unschooling-dotcom home on yahoo. That way, if I
don't have time to read everything I don't have to delete, I just
don't read them!

You are on AOL - that makes it harder because AOL's mail program stinks
- doesn't let you filter mail into folders. You CAN sort it by subject
though - and then delete all the subjects with the word "Christian" in
them. That ought to help. You cannot do that on digest.

It'll settle down and we'll get back to talking about unschooling soon.

Pam -

I've been on aol for years! 8 or 9 I think. I never knew until you said
this that it was possible to group by subject. Now I can delete all the
"enlarge your (bodypart)" and
"refinance" and "best prices on viagra" without going through the whole 300
subject titles.

You have changed my life. Amazing how unobservant a person can be!

Don't feel bad. I had used Windoze 95 for several years before someone
happened to show me about right-clicking to do stuff. <g>
