[Elecraft] OT - Why so much Off topic??

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I use the Gmail client for email.  Even with a pile of 70 or 80
messages, I can use the J and X hot keys to go down the list and mark
entire threads for deletion in less than 60 seconds. It's limited by
how fast I can read the titles.  I click on the delete button and all
that remains is stuff I am interested in reading.

The Gmail client also gathers the messages by thread in the main
display, and removes prior matter from the message BEFORE it is sent
to my screen.  Older material can be clicked on and retrieved.  In
short, it answers many of the reflector complaint issues.

Personally I oppose splitting the list, because it would make cleaning
up for reading a lot slower.  When I use nabble, I turn OFF the option
that splits the messages by category.  Otherwise the most recent
messages are scattered all over the place.

73, Guy.
