Dear Tony and other members of the listserv
I use Netscape to access my e-mail. Recently I applied a mail filters to filter messages from various listservs so that I don't end up with an inbox filled with messages to me directly mixed up with messages from various listservs that certainly don't need my urgent response. You might see whether your e-mail program has this capability. It has certainly helped me.
