I was fascinated by the messages as I am | a newbie still trying to get my BSD system going and many of them pertained | to issues that I expect to face. I may be in fantasy-land, but I will ask | this question anyway. Is there any version of freebsd-questions in which | the traffic is sorted by topic, and in which the recipient can pull onto | his screen only those messages on the topic of interest? Kudos to any | person who takes the time to read any significant portion of the messages, | and especially many thanks to those kind soles who actually take the time | to respond. Both of the questions that I posted in the past did receive a | response. Thank you. | | ------------------------------ why not subscribe to digest version of freebsd-questions? About 2 msgs. per day and 105KB size per msg. Then use procmail/formail to convert them to individual msgs. Regards, Shantanu -- Everyone is a genius.
