Reflector format
Locked
 
|
It is a pity that the present format of the reflector does not allow a
person to mouse click on a particular post so that one does not have to scroll thru spots that may not be of interest. Other reflector formats allow this. Perhaps an update is needed?

Neil,
I regularly delete posts whose titles do not interest me and click to open those which do. This is no hard task and I do not receive the digest so post comes through all day. Thankfully the forum does not require a pass word such as use to be the case on Yahoo. Eric does a pretty good job of keeping us in order and sometimes I too have had my horns cut off. The forum works and we have the principals of Elecraft in the muck with us.

I've been doing that for almost thirty years, originally with PMMail, then (and now) with Thunderbird. First, incoming mail is sorted into separate folders, one for each reflector that I read. Then it's easy and fast to read and delete (or keep) them. Even Yahoo's Windows interface makes it easy to do this too. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Neil,
If you receive the individual emails using a good email client running on your computer, you can do just as you requested. Unfortunately, it does not work that way for the digest nor if you are reading via webmail. My email client has a filter set to move all incoming email with "[Elecraft]" in the subject line to a folder that I have named "Elecraft" - that way I do not have all those posts in my main Inbox. I can open the Elecraft folder and read or delete individual emails and/or respond to those I wish to reply to. In other words, I have my own version of a "digest" in that folder that I can handle like any other email I receive. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/21/2019 3:25 PM, Neil wrote: > It is a pity that the present format of the reflector does not allow a > person to mouse click on a > particular post so that one does not have to scroll thru spots that may > not be of interest.

Check your settings to see if your mail delivery is in digest format.
Unfortunately, mail list software is good at aggregating messages but once aggregated it's hard to unscramble the egg at the receiving end. If you are in individual message delivery, your client can do a satisfactory job for you at the cost of some extra upfront work setting things up. de WC3T - a former email administrator On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 3:25 PM Neil <[hidden email]> wrote: > It is a pity that the present format of the reflector does not allow a > person to mouse click on a > particular post so that one does not have to scroll thru spots that may > not be of interest.

That's a really weird comment. Almost all mail readers and webmail clients list incoming messages in a nice orderly fashion with full visibility into the subject line. What more do you want? Are you trying to do that on a digest?

Both Google Mail and the webmail client of my ISP work fine for that. There is a checkbox next to each email ... you double click the email itself if you want to read it, or you single click the box to mark if for delete if you don't. I really don't see what the issue here is. Unless he's talking about the digest, and in that case he's trying to defeat the purpose of the digest ... which is to aggregate all posts into a single one.

I do the same, sort on reflector, then things become simple... If your
email client allows sorting, sort on the sender... Jim, I also use Thunderbird! :) 73s and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Technical Specialist ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Asst.

The Nabble archive optionally sorts posts by topic mode. Click on the topic and
it expands all the posts in the thread. See https://elecraft.com/pages/community for links to both mail-archive and nabble.

I believe with Outlook, you can drag the contents of a MIME digest email
into a folder. Although there isn't anything native, for this, in Thunderbird, there appears to be at least one add-on (undigestify) that will do most of this. A quick skim suggest that it expands to the current folder, so you may have to do an extra move. Except for a bug that doubles Re: in the subject line, you can pull out individual messages even with bare bones Thunderbird, and reply to them with correct threading. -- David Woolley On 21/05/2019 21:28, Don Wilhelm wrote: > If you receive the individual emails using a good email client running > on your computer, you can do just as you requested.

In the last few years that I was with the Feds in the early 1990s I had two computers on my desk - the Uncle's Win3 box and my OS/2 box - interconnected via a switch box in lieu of a KVM device. I would do my work on the OS/2 machine and sneaker-net it on 3-1/2" floppies to the Win machine for storage or transmission - this was long before the current paranoia about using personal equipment for agency work. My machine had an effective anti-virus, the Uncle's machine did not! I had the same sort of setup in my private practice office with an NT machine up until OS/2 became too difficult to administer.
