Minutus

I get a daily digest of the posts...but, each post is repeated
umpteen times.e.g there could be four posts on a subject, but
I get those four posts repeated 'n' number of times making a
small posting into a large dossier.
Can somebody HELP?
I now delete the post after reading 15% of it for I can't bear to
sit there for another 20 minutes to see all the repeated posts.
But, beyond that 15% there could be some interesting posts
which I unfortunately miss.
Is there a solution?
I presume that for those that receive the digest form the post
will receive it replicated and replicated, and will see my message
over and over and...you know what I mean?

Hi,
I agree there is repetition .. but that is equally good .. a sort of CME .. moving further @15% is really not bad .. but I feel every time i see a repeated post, i feel and understand there was something which i did not conceive previous time going through the same contents.
Repetition helps me to see my own improvement in understanding. Medicines .. Remedies, persons and personality .. each one is a mixed up complex combination .. and every repetition helps me to see it more clearly .. and combined with a little fresh things on line guide me to get back to my cases and books once again ..
You will be surprised there are books which come out my shelf after interval of years .. but repetitions are a part of my interests.
Hard work, patience and my compassion to learn more and more .. helps me to digest every little thing coming in .. shorter the best .. which expands automatically with such repetitions .. I wish and hope you may enjoy this repetition and it saves time and energy to go through pages after pages in books to revise few things which we missed out while reading at the first place.
Regards.

An easy and very organized way is to read the emails on Yahoo.

Otherwise just delete the (many) posts at the bottom of the message that aren't relevant, or at least parts of them. Quick & easy...

periodically i get numerous copies of posts from several groups.

Hi Jeff

Digest versions are horrid. List members are notorious for not trimming their posts. I'm not being specific here, this is a problem with all lists. There is a solution.

Change your list parameters to single emails. Don't panic. To prevent list posts from flooding your inbox, create folders in your email program. What are you running? Desktop: Thunderbird? MS Outlook? Online: Yahoo? AOL? GMail? GMX? All of these programs allow you to create folders, they also allow you to create filters. Filters will intercept incoming email and throw it in the chosen folder. You can do this with multiple lists, you can also do it with email from your mother in law, or anybody else for that matter.

With your lists collected into their own folders you can easily see which list has new posts. You can edit the views for each folder to show you the posts in a way that works for you. Last received, threads etc.

I have about 20 lists organized in this way in Thunderbird. With each folder I also have a subfolder that is for keepers. These keeper folders are for posts that I want to hang onto for future reference. When I read a post I want to keep I drag and drop it over to the keeper sub folder. Anytime I've caught up on a list or feel overwhelmed I just select all and delete everything in the main list folder. The conversation will come around again.

Hope this helps a little. Lists are valuable sources of information but as digests they are usually unmanageable.

PS, I'm replying onlist because there are likely others that would appreciate this information and I am sending my reply directly to you in case it gets buried in a digest that you only read 15% of.
