[Elecraft] Deleting OT

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

As far as I know, there is no way to do that for digests.  But if you 
are downloading the digest to your computer and not wanting it on your 
smartphone or other web based application, then read on.

If you have an email client on your computer, IMHO subscribing to the 
digest is a cumbersome way to view the Elecraft email list.
Subscribe to individual emails.
Create a folder in your email client for the Elecraft emails.
Set a filter to place all incoming emails with [Elecraft] into that folder.
Presto -- you have your own digest on your computer.

If you do not want to see the OT posts, simply create a filter to place 
anything with "OT" into into your trash.

Mozilla Thunderbird works nicely and is free - multiplatform as well.

73,

I am not sure if it is boredom or lack of other outlets that folks believe they can post things that have absolutely nothing to do with Elecraft. For the record, as I have been in the Elecraft dog house before for mentioning this, I am not suggesting what people should post.

I suspect I could switch to individual emails and simply setup a rule to automatically delete anything that starts with OT. Then just delete posts by people that  post things unrelated to Elecraft.
