Since I've been on the list for a few days now, I'm getting used to the
volume of the traffic, but I have a suggestion to make managing it a bit
easier. Like most of us, I suspect, I like to segregate the received
traffic so I can archive it.
Why don't we take a leaf from CYHIST's playbook and start putting a flag at
the front of the Subject: (as I did above) to make it easier to sort?
This would be especially valuable for me since I receive both list and
non-list mail from a few people.
TIA,

I understand that most list servers can do this automatically. I would
also find this a useful feature.
Sam, is this something that would be reasonable to implement?

Can't most people simply set up a filter to dump all the messages into a
mailbox specifically for the list? I wouldn't be able to cope with all the
mail I get each day if it wasn't for this. I simply send everything "From"
the mailing list to that box. Works great to keep the various mailing
lists separate.

I only average about 30 - 50 messages/day and it only takes minutes to look

classify ... or put the decision off :). At what point (as far as
messages/day) does it make sense to use a filter to sort?

Actually, Bill Whitson is the operator of this list-server.
