Well, I guess then that I'm just an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of guy. It's easy to sort all the mailing list mail into some set of folders, but actually _reading_ those folders is what's hard. If I see some visual indication then I'll remember, but if not then I'll get around to it . . . in a month or two, when I remember. If I'm paying really close attention, it might only take me a week. Or two. (Right now I have 8.5+ megabytes of cvs-committers email from the FreeBSD project sitting in its own folder. I last glanced at it some time last week. It has email in it from January 3. Sigh.) (Funny, it seems like weeks used to be longer, too.) -- Frank Mayhar frank at exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
