Quick suggestion from Newbie Mascot? Granted that using filters (aka
rules), you make your incoming email a breeze to manage and peruse.
That filtered individual emails are much easier and faster to manage.
That you can even cull real personal emails from list posts that way.
That for flexibilty, you should not rely on digests but use them as a
personal, off-line archive.
So: since this is a wonderful list with plenty of human depth and I'm
writing a play based on it (just kidding), why not just agree to use a
simple shorthand for threads with a digital topic, which makes it easy
to set filters using the subject line content. Exempli gratia:
[OM/D] for digital
[OM/off] for off-topic
[OM/flame] for you know what
[OM/Mom] for messages from the List Mom
[OM/pic] for pic links
[OM/shop] for the lust stuff
What would the List Mom suggest here? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien (leave well enough alone). Etc. Just
evolve it one little incremental notch at a time, as you would a
winning camera design, well known to the connoisseurs who are the
heart and soul of this strangely addictive list.
