Hi, the easiest way is to use outlook verses express and sort all
messages by subject and so you see it in a tree like structure "your
advice you decide then to read the messages under that subject or not.

Subject: Re: About Your Advice
May I add that I think the main reason filtering messages in this way
wouldn't be useful is that the filter would have to use subject lines as
its
criteria, and you couldn't possibly predict every thread that you
wouldn't
want to read messages in, nor even how someone might write the subject
line
for that thread, etc.
Just imagine you're using this idea to avoid having to even see messages
you
don't care for. Every time you encountered a few messages about
something,
say "Your Advice," that you decided wasn't to your taste, you'd have to
go
into the Outlook Express filter rules menu, a menu that's particularly
difficult for screen reader users to deal with without asking for help
over
and over again, spend time setting up a rule to channel every post with
the
subject line "Your Advice" into your Deleted Items folder. And then,
after
all that, someone might change the wording of the subject line for some
reason and... In other words, this wouldn't be exactly the easiest way
to
deal with your annoyance, nor give you the sense of control that must
feel
as if it's slipping away when messages you don't like keep coming into
your
Inbox.
My take, and not everyone would agree: It's only an inbox message
list.
it's not hurting you. by which I mean you do not& have to read anything
you
don't want to. I know people have certain habits for dealing with their
mail, and I believe this is what's at fault. Please let me clarify:
If you use the manual method of simply arrowing down the list and
choose to
open messages one at a time, then you can just delete the ones whose
subject
lines don't appeal to you. But please note: I've noticed that a number
of
people on this list prefer to go through the new email in their Inboxes
not
this way, but by opening the first new message and then deleting from
within
it, whereupon the next new message opens, etc. If this is how you go
through your new email, then the choice has been taken away from you
whether
to open a message and hear at least some of it before getting angry.
And if
that's what you find so offensive, then it would be better to go through
the
mail by just arrowing up and down your Inbox list, not deleting messages
from within so that the next message automatically opens and you have to
hear what you don't want to hear, and then feel overwhelmed and helpless
and
start getting angry. Just don't do the mail that way. Arrow down, open
a
message that interests you, hit Escape to let it close, then delete it
if
you want, then see what the next message is. I mean the next message
listed, not its contents. To those who are very attached to doing this
in
the more automated way and resent the suggestion, all I can say, in a
kindly, cheerful tone, is, look, it's just an extra press of the Escape
key
and then the Enter key this way. It won't kill you. It certainnly
won't
feel as bad as having a million emails you hate hearing keep opening and
talking to you.
Hope this helps.

Yes, he can create a message rule to have all messages he's not
interested
in go to another folder but then he has to be somewhat like a prophet!
How
do you know today what you will encounter tomorrow? If he excludes a
certain topic, for example, like word today what happens if tomorrow or
next
week he encounters a word problem? Judith

Hi Judith!
yah, you are right. But, if he using Ms. Outlook or Outlook Express,
then, he can create a message rule for him to exclude all e mails that
he
don't want to go to his Inbox. What do you think?

Dave, Sometimes there is so much repetitiveness because not all people
read
every word sent to their in box. Many, like myself, delete those
messages
whose subject doesn't apply to their needs. This is the way all
support
lists that I have been on operate. If some one has in their subject
line
a
subject that does not apply to your hard ware, software or program
that
you
are not using you can just delete it, there is no reason to read
hundreds
of
messages a day. Judith
