Clay, Gmail does a very nice job of organizing posts from pianotech. For example, your post, plus Andrew's response were grouped together into one line item in my inbox, along with a notation "Clayton, Andrew (2)" (or somesuch). If I had not deleted the other posts in the Yamaha C6 thread that you just hijacked, they would also be in the mix with a (23) (or whatever) notation. If I'm sick of a thread, I can just delete all current posts to it with two clicks, even though there may be 12 new posts to it. I've never observed gmail-like behavior in any email client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird)... not to say there isn't any, though. If you think the Yamaha C6 thread is overkill and you're just trying to route it to junk (or are you routing ALL pianotech to junk?) then I see at least two possible options for you: - Reconfigure your subscription such that you don't receive emails (but can still post), then pick and choose what you wish to read from http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/ - Get a gmail account and try it that way... either forward your current email to it, or reconfigure your pianotech subscription to use it In many instances, having several posts is a good thing... there's an immense amount of brainstorming -- and learning -- that goes on this way.
