Are there many people who actually know from which list a message comes? In an earlier life messages from all the lists I subscribed to (-newbies, -questions and -security) ended up in 'Inbox'. At a later stage I made a rule which sends everything from *@freebsd.org to a folder called 'FreeBSD incoming' to distinguish it from Bugtraq and more personal stuff. From there most of it goes to the bit bucket but some messages go to 'FreeBSD to keep' and a very few to other folders with names of topics which particularly interest me. But it came as a surprise to me to learn that that long thread on a FreeBSD magazine had originated in newbies. Am I the only one who doesn't much bother which list a message comes from and usually doesn't know - without checking the header? mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
