Re: FW: Happy Holidays and a New Year's Proposal

I concur . . . I get very little (if any) spam from this list . . . second
rule is, "If it works, don't fix it . . ."
If you're getting spammed, look to the other mail servers you communicate
with . . .
MAK.

It just isn't necessary.... as it was already said, all you have to do is
filter by the FROM line - I have everything from the list go into my
Cytometry folder automatically - There is a downside.... I like having the
subject line to sort by subject - if everything starts with the same
subject name and  if it is a long name like Cytometry Mailing list, then
you have a very wide column to look at before you get to the actual subject
- Not sure that made sense but I like it just like it is.... thanks
