I just recently joined this list and started out getting periodic digest emails. I found that to be a very unfriendly way to read this forum, so I started just refreshing the monthly archive every few hours that I'm at home, but didn't care much for that either. Then I signed up for a gmail account (email by Google). Related threads get joined into one entry in my inbox, making it far simpler to plow thru a pile of posts. Then, if I want to save something for later, I can put a tag on it (e.g. "Regulating", or "Temperament")... it's similar to folders, except I can assign multiple tags to a single email. Then I can move it to archive so it's out of my inbox. Most internet users are familiar with Google as a search engine, so it should be no surprise that Gmail archive is search-enabled, too. If it wasn't such a pain to "move" to a different email address, I'd be moving my regular personal email to Gmail as well. As it is, I do plan to start that process in the not too distant future, though I anticipate it'll take a while... Paul On 1/27/07, John M.
