Here's how I used to do it: I subscribed to the list using individual messages rather than the digest. I use Netscape mail and use its mail filters to redirect all the incoming e-mail from LML to a separate folder. Within the folder, messages are sorted by subject, which essentially sorts the list into threads. This should work with most other mail clients as well as most of them allow mail filters. Recently I have changed things and started using a separate e-mail account for all my mailing lists. This way I can be on the road on a 800 dialup connection and not have to download the 100+ list messages (between all the lists I subscribe to) to get my work and personal e-mail. Each of the mailing lists sits in its own separate folder. Hamid --------------070503020002000200030001 Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bob Jude wrote:

To all those who are concerned about "splitting the list":  Did you read
this sentence in the original message?

For those who want information about ALL the aircraft there would of course

still be an ALL selection.<

And from my experience with other lists, after a while everything will start happening in the ALL section. People will post a message in say the ES section. Not get a response, or not get a satisfactory response and so will repost it in the ALL section. Breaking up the list would have been appropriate if we were getting a few hundred message a day.
