Re[Elecraft] ading/Posting to Elecraft list?

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

I do likewise, but Apple Mail automatically separates into different  
mailboxes for each account I use and I then sub-divide with a rule. I  
discard anything that has k2, k1, kx1 etc. but doesn't have K3, so I  
tend to just get general mail and K3 stuff (and everything in my trash  
stays there for 7 days anyway).
It also has a pretty good black & white list.
I don't use digests for the reason given by Dave and that Apple Mail  
is brilliant at threading, so after 10 posts on something I don't want  
to read, I just delete the whole lot with one click :-)
