Re: OT changing to different notification format

[Guest guest]

,

I am sure someone can clarify about the special notices, I'm not sure

about that one. I used to get the digest and it's a pretty good

option, try it out. There will be a list of subject lines at the

top of each digest and you can just scroll through them all. I used

to get more than one a day, and I imagine they do that so anyone one

digest is not too horribly long.

I got to the point I couldn't keep up with the digests, so now I just

use the website. I don't know about searching, but I think scrolling

through the website and going back to the last time I read anything

is pretty easy. The subject line changes color when I read a post,

so I know which one's I have read and which one's I have not.

The only problem I had when I tried to read digest form is locating where

one post ended and the next one started. Digest works fine if people on

digest remember to only include the part of a post they are responding to.

Otherwise they hit reply and the entire digest becomes part of that email.

If I were looking only for the medical abstracts, I would look mainly at the

email of the people that send in these abstracts and maybe make a message

rule to highlight them or color code them in some way. Each email program

has a way to bring attention to a particular sender or subject. I've seen

where some people in other groups that never want to see a message for

another member in particular so they put them in their " kill file. " What

this does is sends any mail from a particular member right to the trash bin

without having to ever see it. I have my email program set up so that

anyone not in my address book goes right to the trash bin. I scan the bin

before deleting to make sure someone with a new address isn't in there..

This has cut my junk mail way down.

Going to the website to read mail allows you to pick which messages to read.

Maybe that is an easier way to scan the mail and see what is relevant to

you.

We never have had any special announcements, so that is a feature not to

worry about. As far as replying, everything will be the same except for

what I mentioned about having to cut and paste what you are responding to in

a new email so that the entire digest doesn't get answered to.
