[asa] Alternative to the Flood of Emails

Dave,

[Dave wrote: When you reply to someone's note, the reply should only go to
asa@calvin... and not directly to the sender or to the people copied on
the original note. This severely reduces the number of duplicates you
will receive. If everyone did this it would also make the threading of
messages come out in strict date and time sequence, which I at least
prefer. In my email client I either manually blank out some of the
reply addresses or manually enter the asa nickname to accomplish this.]

For some reason, I have not gotten use to this procedure. The more I send asa emails, the better I will get at not forgetting to do this step.

This depends upon the email client you use but it probably is more or
 less the same in many clients. In Thunderbird which I use, the Tools
 pulldown has an entry called Message Filters. I have two filters:

Thanks, Dave. I use Outlook Express still. I'll play with it and see what I get.

To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@calvin.edu with
"unsubscribe asa" (no quotes) as the body of the message.
