This sounds like the perfect candidate for a Squeak mail filter that would parse your received email and filter it into the appropriate folders. Most decent mail programs have some sort of filter capability and they can do fairly reasonable boolean filters.

PS- Personally I like things the way they are even though a lot of the stuff is implementation specific and somewhat over my head ;-)

OK- sorry I started it! I'll continue to read everything and do manual filtering! It's probvably good for me in some spiritual way!

Prof. Moray (n.moray@surrey.ac.uk) said:
I'm very interested in other people's problems - and even more in the solutions to things which don'ty seem to work, but, for example, I spoend about 30 minutes a day trashing discussions of hashing, efficient coding for floats, and so on. I am happy to bow down and worship before those clever enough to concern themselves with the latter kjind of things, but it would be great if there were some way of saving that 30 minutes to 1 hour each time I log on!
I think that one thing which may be overlooked in the discussion of splitting the list is that exchanges on this (and any other) list often stray from the original topic. What starts as a "newbie" question ("Why do two Floats which should be equal not compare 'correctly'?") may evolve into a discussion of more complex issues involving changes to the class lib or the VM. If the list is split this evolutionary discussion style might be compromised or lost, leaving us all with less to talk about. Just an observation...
