Folks,

IMHO Gmail is the best and only way to do high volume lists. I get this and iBOB both in Gmail. It threads all related e-mails together and it is easy to set up filters. All my C-R go into a folder. I open only threads that sound interesting and ignore the rest. I have been getting both lists since June of 04, have ~43,132 e-mails and am still only at 22% capacity. If you have internet access it is the best...

P.S. I have plenty of invites if anybody wants one (off list please)
