Well, I guess I'll just plod along, since my "more actions" doesn't match
yours in operation.
As I understand it, historically, the no tag was to make more room for
subject line. OK, I don't get it, but I don't get a lot of things.
I just thought that it was worth suggesting that the leg join all the other
lists I know of with a tag. As I mentioned in my first post on this
subject, I subscribe to a number of lists, only a few photographic. Most
relate to my job. This is the only one with no tag.
I don't love gmail either, but it works and searches mail better than any
others, especially since everything stays on the server, and I can access
from any computer. afaik, only AOL also does that, and then you have to
save to aol to ensure that.
