Folks,

I find the digest format cumbersome to deal with.  The posts for the day are
lined up one after another in one long email and I would have to scroll down
to find the one I want to look at.  Yes, the Table of contents makes it a
bit easier, but ...

I have an 'Elecraft' folder under my Inbox and I let my email client put all
the Elecraft mail into that folder by detecting the "[Elecraft]" in the
subject.  That way I can deal with non-elecraft things in my  inbox and when
I have time I review the posts in the Elecraft folder - if the post is not
of interest, a quick tap of the DELETE button deals with it and I am left
with only those of interest.

Of course everyone has their own ways of dealing with things like this, I
just wanted to share how I do it for those still searching for their own
methods.

73,
Don W3FPR

Ditto.

The solution I settled on was Google Gmail. http://gmaill.google.com

Advantages/Cool features:

o message download is not required, read mail via your web browser
o lots of storage for messages, 2.7gb approx.
o presents author/subject and ~one line message summary
o messages can be deleted, archived...etc from main screen
o has spell-checking, important for us techie types :-)
o Can read/review email on web enabled cellphones
o filters just like other email clients
o fast easy search options to find old messages

Disadvantages

o Another email address & interface to master.
o Need invite code to sign up, can be done with cellphone or invite
sent by current user.

I gave Gmail a short trial several months ago. I liked it so much I
moved all my list subscriptions to it--worth trying IMHO.

Or, you can sort on topics and delete the stuff of no interest or overworked
