Thanks Mike and Alex. The conversation idea helped quite a bit. Now, all I have todo is set up the rule. Some of the old email programs from unix like pine a little handier, but = the rules should take care of this problem fairly well. -----Original Message----- From: Mike.Trent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Mike.Trent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 11:26 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: finding a bunches of messages from the jaws list Actually, the name of the list is in the recipient's address, the TO = field.

It'll chop them up into groups = of tens and twenties and if you land on one and hit delete it gets rid of = the whole thing. Easier to manage. I would've suggested by sender as the = view option but the way the list is set up, it'll bring up the name of the = list subscriber and not the listserve address so it won't sort it out for you very well. Conversation topic is the most manageable in my opinion. Thanks, Hope that helps, Alex Midence -----Original Message----- From: Brian Albriton [mailto:brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 11:24 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: finding a bunches of messages from the jaws list Using microsoft outlook 2000.
