When I joined the list last month, it became apparent that I would have to do something about separating my list messages from my normal bevy of mail. Outlook express has a neat little utility that allows you to set message filtering tools. Here is what I did: From the Tools|Message Rules|Mail window, You can add a rule by clicking on the new button. 1. In the select the conditions for your rule : check "Where the subject lines contains specific words" 2. Select the actions for your rule "Move it to the specified folder" 3. Rule description "Apply this rule after the message arrives 4.Name of the rule "New mail rule #X" (next available number) When you click OK, this box goes away and the underlying Message Rules window will appear. In the Rule description dialog box this rule is waiting to be finished. Click on the blue contains a new window will promt you for Specific Words. I found , for some reason that cut and paste from an actual subject part works better than just typing in the "Re: M_Boats:" line. That should be all you need in the rule. The next part of the rule will move the message to a specific folder. I created a sail folder earlier just for this.The rule should look like this "where the subject line contains Re:M_Boats: move the message to the Sail folder". Wal la all your list messages should now appear in nice order w/ no viagra ads inbetween, ready for you to read at your leisure. ps sorry I made this so long winded. gilbert
