Sean,

I noticed that there were at least three, maybe 4, different threads of interchange that I was getting emails for, even though I was only interested in one of those. If there were some way (a) for each list member to only be apprised immediately of action in those threads to which they themselves had already responded and (b) to be given a daily summary of the names of "threads" in which there was action that day so that they could look up additional threads that they weren't involved in or mark any additional thread as one in which they wanted to be kept uptodate????????

Any thoughts about this? What are some potential solutions? The best solution is one that is win-win. Don't want to change one person's enjoyment for the betterment of another. Any ideas on how to improve the product for everyone?
