[OSList] help with the formatting of the OSLIST when it arrives in my Mach Mail programme

I have created a separate folder for list emails, this stops my inbox from being crammed but of makes a risk of not being “there” present all the time 😉
Hugs to you all open spacers

Hi Romy, Anne,

I don't use, nor do I recommend the "Digest" format. You can change that if you scroll to the bottom of every email from the OSList and manage your subscription. You might need to reset your password if you have forgotten it.

I know it means less email traffic in your inbox if you receive the "Digest" format, but it makes it really hard for the rest of us to know when you reply what email you are replying to. And the digest format will not be in the nice format like you want. I don't have the capacity to write another group email program to fix that.

Threads are a feature of your email reading program. I can turn on threads for my Thunderbird. By default the GMail app lists things by conversations, as do many others. But GMail doesn't do that if you use the GNU MailMan Digest feature - which jams a whole bunch of OSList emails into a single email. And you can't change how MailMan does the jamming.

Hope that makes sense. And my profuse apologies for not being an active moderator or manager of the OSList, and that I don't reply quickly to requests. Sometimes I don't even see them. Many many apologies! There is a big chunk of work on my plate for the OSList to upgrade us to the latest version which should solve several problems, though I don't think it will solve the "Digest" problem. I'm hoping all of us can self-manage most of the other needs.

Hello Harold,

It was SO lovely to see you and be with you at the weekend. The person who is behind so much work to keep us all in touch via the OSLIST… and with us once again, helping with all sorts of technical magic. Thanks again.

I wonder if you might be able to help me with the way that the OSLIST arrives into my Mach Mail programme? As you see below…. I receive this list with duplicates of conversations through it + lots of other general stuff… making it hard to pick out the thread of a conversation.

Suzanne showed me how she receives OSLIST in her gmail account - in wonderfully clear threads, where you can see responses to a particular posting, and not extraneous bla bla. I tried logging into gmail, rather than my Mach Mail programme, and unfortunately did not receive the OSLIST in the way that Suzanne does.

Do you have any clues about what I might do?

Thanks again SO much

Romy
