[Elecraft] Limit topics in email

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

There are times when I wish the Elecraft list was by model (and not just 
one big list) and then there are times when I learn things that apply to 
my KX3 that would never have been posted to a KX3 list.

... and that reminded me of a tool I used to use called POPFile.

While I used it for spam filtering (it's a Bayesian filter so it learns 
to classify mail by example), I'm using similar Bayesian algorithms 
built-in to Thunderbird for anti-spam.

What POPFile does that's somewhat unique is that it will classify on 
really any criteria, not just good/bad (non-spam vs. spam).

It could be applied to this list to sort it by interest area (portable, 
antenna, contesting, firmware, etc.) and with a little training (a few 
days) give someone exactly what they'd want.

You'd find it at http://getpopfile.org.

As for implemented/unimplemented features, the list is operated by 
QTH.net.  They run a whole stack of amateur radio related lists using 
Mailman, which is free software.  It works reasonably well, but I don't 
think QTH.net makes a lot of money on list management, and probably 
isn't too motivated to fix issues.

There is the KX3 Yahoo group, but the signal/noise ratio is really kind 
of awful, IMHO.
