OK, I am listening, is there a way for me to identify the different
messages from two different lists as they present themselves when
Gmail is opened. I dont consider sorting them into mail boxes a
viable method because then I have to go to each mail box individually
and sort them out there. I prefer just taking the list as it appears
(usually about 250 to 400 posts), hitting the "Mark ALL" key then
going down the left side and unmarking the few that I see where the
subject interests me. At the bottom I hit "Delete All" to delete all
those still left marked. Then I go back to look at the few I had
unmarked. Its simple and does not involve the possibility that I
might forget to check a particular "Box" or have to check ALL
"Boxes"
to see which received mail after the sort.
I may be missing a "better way" but I doubt it. This one has evolved
over the last three years and really works well.

This is a ridiculous argument. Just shoot down
mine as saying
"everyone else is doing it" and that makes yours right???
I apologize, I
must not have been clear. I was saying your statement that
ClassicCMP should tag the subject because every other list does was not a
great convincer. I was not at all saying classiccmp was right because
everyone else does it our way (which isn't correct, obviously, as you {and
I} stated).
But because this one and the Chunky Child Mothers
Porn site are the only
two that dont identify themselves, I just dont know which one I am
opening.
I would think the subject lines by themselves would easily distinguish
between these two ;) I hope ;)
If I allow my mail program to display the headers
along....
Woah... no one said, inferred, nor suggested anything of the sort! I
don't
think most would consider having to wade through headers on each email is a
good solution. But, we're here to help. Exactly what email client are you
using? I bet we can find a solution for you with the win-win of getting you
more familiar with your software.
