Hi Robby.

I keep up with the reflector via the following method.

	* I subscribe to the reflector in Digest Mode (I have MS Outlook for
email).
	* I create a rule to send Digest postings to Deleted Items 
	* I read the reflector posts via my Web Browser at 
	
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2010-January/date.html
	* I keep a Shortcut on my desktop for that address
	* When I start my computer each day, I click that icon and open a
tab in my browser
		with that address
	* I scan the list of email topics and click on those I want to read
	* The browser opens that posting in the brower
	* Browser Back returns to the main page
	* The browser leaves read postings 'marked as read' by changing its
color
	* That page is open in its own tab all day for me
	* Refreshing the browser page/tab updates the page
	* I usually click on the last posting in the list to highlight it
		 so as to know where to pick up next time I look at it.

Notes:  The Icon/page address must be updated monthly.
	  Deleting cookies will cause one to lose the 'marked as read'
indications
	  I suppose the subscribing to the Digest is optional but by being a
subscriber
		I can then post to the refelector.
	  Some postings veiwed via this method do not incorporate 'word
wrap.'  If I 
		really want to read such an email (if lengthy) I copy it
into
		Note pad where it word wraps nicely.

...works for me and a whole lot less grief.
