Not everyone wants to use Thunderbird and keep their email on their
local PC. Not everybody is Mozilla enamoured. Finally weaned my wife off Thunderbird and moved to Gmail, and she now does her admittedly simple email stuff on her smartphone with Gmail's app. No more dragging the laptop along on trips and trying to get connectivity on the RV park's overloaded wireless connection. > Speak for yourselves, but this was easily (and cleanly) replied to from > the daily digest, by using Thunderbird's "Reply List" button. > > Not everyone wants dozens of separate emails... > > 73 > > Dave G0WBX. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

There are other options since you abhor Thunderbird. In your case,
downloading email over night when the park wifi demand is low is an option. Using alternate networks (phone/tablet) is another option. ALL my email accounts are IMAP, so all my devices are sync'ed upon network connection. This includes GMAIL, which has the best spam filtering I've seen. I do not care for web interfaces as a general rule, I prefer an email client. I use my phone/tablet for email extensively when traveling so the laptop is only needed when there is sufficient bandwidth to sync it. I can also (since it's stored locally) catch up on email, offline, also handy when traveling. One can filter/sort according to TO: address, topic and similar so mass deletions are simple. I find the digest format to be more tedious but each to their own. It's not worth extensive discussion here (Ford! Dodge! Chevy! BMW! Microsloth!). BUT: regardless of which method(s) you choose, PLEASE trim your response to the least amount of cruft. It's polite, it's faster to read and for those that still have data caps (VERY common in many areas), it matters. 73, Rick wa6nhc On 4/3/2017 8:47 AM, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: > Not everyone wants to use Thunderbird and keep their email on their > local PC.

This is the only thing that matters, folks.
It doesn't matter if you think web mail is the best thing since sliced bread, or if you use some free service (I distrust Google). It isn't that hard to trim the irrelevant parts. This is true if you use the digest (nice if you fix the subject too) or if there are many replies that can be trimmed. It's just courtesy. 73 -- Lynn On 4/3/2017 9:17 AM, Rick WA6NHC wrote: > BUT: regardless of which method(s) you choose, PLEASE trim your response > to the least amount of cruft. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I get the Elecraft Reflector as digest. I subscribe to probably
15-20 reflectors so the digest keeps all Elecraft e-mail in one place and not spread thru my in basket. So I just answered this topic from digest vol. 156 issue 6. So simple: Either I copy - paste the subject line if I am not replying to a particular e-mail or I copy - paste the text I am replying to, including the header which has the subject line. In that case I copy - paste the subject afterward. I use a oldie but goodie (for me) client (Eudora-Pro). I started out on-line in 1996 with Eudora-Lite and upgraded, later. My Isp is my email provider. Simple. Yes, it requires more than clicking reply. Probably took me 3-seconds. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com Dubus-NA Business mail: [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Please change your subject to match your topic. Digest replies make it difficult to cull out what we don't want to follow.

Surely it would be better if this thread was culled out altogether. It has
nothing to do with Elecraft products or Ham Radio and is a netiquette/email matter, better dealt with on a list that caters for net protocol. If this thread had been on real radio, it would have been stopped by now as it seems to have gone past the threshold for long-winded (boring) posts per thread! 73, Alan.
