While inevitably I will hear from people that I should just click hit the DELETE key, I get the digest form of this email list. One cannot really delete only the OT posts when using the digest.
Does anyone know if there is a way to have the qth.net list software automatically remove posts that start with OT in the subject? I subscribe to this list to get information about the Elecraft line of equipment (KPA1500 is the latest). I am not sure if it is boredom or lack of other outlets that folks believe they can post things that have absolutely nothing to do with Elecraft. For the record, as I have been in the Elecraft dog house before for mentioning this, I am not suggesting what people should post. I am asking a legitimate question if anyone knows a way I could mercifully make it stop—short of unsubscribing and losing the actual useful content otherwise. I suspect I could switch to individual emails and simply setup a rule to automatically delete anything that starts with OT. Then just delete posts by people that post things unrelated to Elecraft. Thanks in advance if anyone knows a way to do that for digests.

It isn’t just this list, of course. It’s every list, every BBS, every Yahoo or Google or IO group, twitter, and FB, and Reddit, and … And every digest.
I’ve never come across any list that will automatically do the filtering for you. And sometimes the OT threads can be quite interesting .. at least early on. :-) Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > On Jun 16, 2018, at 11:20 AM, Thomas Schaefer <[hidden email]> wrote: > > While inevitably I will hear from people that I should just click hit the DELETE key, I get the digest form of this email list.

Thanks.
To avoid creating too many posts (and have this turn into a me-too off topic post), if people respond to me directly IF THEY KNOW HOW to FILTER a DIGEST, I will summarize and send it back to the list.

Tom,
As far as I know, there is no way to do that for digests. But if you are downloading the digest to your computer and not wanting it on your smartphone or other web based application, then read on. If you have an email client on your computer, IMHO subscribing to the digest is a cumbersome way to view the Elecraft email list. Subscribe to individual emails. Create a folder in your email client for the Elecraft emails. Set a filter to place all incoming emails with [Elecraft] into that folder. Presto -- you have your own digest on your computer. If you do not want to see the OT posts, simply create a filter to place anything with "OT" into into your trash. Mozilla Thunderbird works nicely and is free - multiplatform as well. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/16/2018 11:20 AM, Thomas Schaefer wrote: > While inevitably I will hear from people that I should just click hit the DELETE key, I get the digest form of this email list.

Thanks for the useful information Don. I changed over to non-digest.
I use a Mac so I already have all radio list email go into a Smart Folder. I created a rule to automatically delete any email that has OT in the subject (ironically, this one). Hopefully we can ask people to give some serious thought to what they write and if they must post something off-topic, to include OT in the subject. Again, just a polite request—I’m not telling people what to post. I believe that takes care of this one so thank you all for your consideration and the bandwidth. <SNARK>We can now go back to discussing how FT8 cannot be used at Field Day (with my K3 to make it tangentially on topic) or how my P3 makes a better pan adapter than back in the day when I used an Kenwood SM-220 (and the resulting 30 post thread about how good the Kenwood TS-820 line was). </SNARK> Regards, Tom NY4I > On Jun 16, 2018, at 11:42 AM, Don Wilhelm <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Tom, > > As far as I know, there is no way to do that for digests.

There is a separate email list for Elecraft Sales. It is how the monthly newsletters have been distributed. I can't seem to find information on the web site about how to subscribe to it though, and I don't remember how I got signed up.

Since I only own a K1 and a couple of K2s, the vast majority of posts on
this list are OT to me. A few filters in Thunderbird allow me to see the legacy stuff and the OT stuff keeps the Elecraft community together when there are no Elecraft specific posts. That helps ensure the Elecraft brain trust is there when "on topic" answers are needed. Eric KE6US On 6/16/2018 11:24 AM, Bert Craig wrote: > Amen! Censorship STINKS!
