If you look at the header, you will see I am using Thurderbird, though not on
any common operating system. One can certainly create filers, and I assume one
can turn sound on, though I've never fancied that, so I have not tried to.
Anyway, it would make things a lot easier if people could reply to the group
without changing the subject line. But I can't' be bothered to discuss it much
more. Some obviously like chaning the subject. I can't say I've come across any
newsgroup or mailing list where it is done as much as here.
