    1. about the prepend........

    3. Hi to the list...... I have been reached from a few on the list that the list (or the list owner) does not want the prepend. I do not recall very recent conversations on this and would like to know the current status.... As with anything that allows an option, there are bound to be reasons for or against. For those that think it 'steals' too much from the subject line... take a look at the archives... MImenoMI or MImeno would not adversely affect the subject lengths noted in recent times.... and those that are lengthy....the subject line was being used to expound! For those that think I should filter..... No, I cannot filter...I do not have the option in my situation. For those that think I should OPEN the message...you miss the point. I DO not WANT to OPEN something that is coming from someone I do not know....I do not know ALL the people writing to the list, but the PREPEND is a first line key that I can use to censure my incoming mail....... manually... remember I cannot filter! FOr those that just don't have a preference, then let those that DO have a preference have your vote FOR the prepend.... valentine____________________ at valentine53179@hotmail.com . . . . . _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

    3. Hi All, One way I solved this problem (no prepend) is I created a folder under my inbox and set the settings so whenever I get mail with MIMENOMI-L in the address line, it automatically gets moved into my MenomineeList folder. I have several of these folders set up as I am on numerous lists and get several hundred e-mails a day and I needed to find a way to separate my important e-mail from all that junk mail. This method also makes deleting all the junk a lot easier because I don't have to be careful when deleting. Now all my important mail safely goes into it's designated folder. To do this in Outlook or Outlook express, just go to tools and click on rules wizard. It walks you right though and only takes a few minutes to set up and you can create as many different folder and subfolders as you need. At least by having the e-mails from this list automatically moved into it's own folder, you'll have a way of knowing it's from this list before you even open it. Hope this helps some of you in case the admin chooses not to activate the prepend. Kris
