I'm not sure what the big deal is here. My filter catches everything from LD and dumps it into my LD folder with no problems -- the only thing it doesn't catch is the mass mails that are sent to LD which I personally don't like. I also don't like people that respond to the digest without clarifying which post they are replying to but that's another story -- I just take the loss on the mass mails the filter doesn't catch -- Life goes on if I miss one :) One thing you guys may want to do is change your subscription to the digest form. That's a pretty solid and consistent header. --- das <das@ubuibi.org> wrote: > as i wrote before that i too am unhappy with the > arrangment > and did write to the admin, just recieved this > reply; > > no, I won't clutter the list up with that nonsense. > Learn to use the mail > filter functions in your email client. > kim > > i've written him back that i do not understand how > having a subject header adds > clutter, for me having a header would help with spam > riddance. > > hmmmmmm ????? > > -das > ubuibi.org > > > > Scott Carr wrote: > > > Yes, it's a sensible request, but the one person > who could change a > > simple listserv configuration file thinks doing so > is unhip and enables > > morons.
