I arranged to have the digest mode delivered from the Upson list hoping to be able to sort through these messages someday. I am now receiving the digest, but still continue to receive the e-mails individually. At the risk of sounding ungrateful I simply do not have the time to sort through this much mail. I have followed the procedures to unsubscribe from the individual list and I believe Virginia tried for me as well. Any suggestions? I simply can't find the mail I must attend to daily with this much coming in from one list - help! I appreciate the efforts, and have been involved in similar projects and know the time it takes.
