[Amps] Reposting subject line, oops, there i go again

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

Correcto mundo! I've never been able to see any advantage to that mode, 
myself. Seems awkward.

Just set up your mail client to filter all messages from the list into a 
mail folder you create. And if you don't like the computer making noises 
when emails are received, then turn the sound(s) off in your mail client's 
setup or preferences. If you don't know how to do either of these things, 
there should be a Help file accessible from the menu bar that tells you how.

John, you're apparently using the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client on a Mac. 
While I'm a PC guy and unfamiliar with Thunderbird on any platform, I would 
be shocked if you can't readily do both of those things on it.

And for anyone else out there fixated on Digest mode -- While it is possible 
that there are email clients out there that can't (a) filter and redirect 
messages on a variety of different properties, and (b) control the operating 
system sounds that are made for different email occurrences, I've never seen 
any -- at least, not since the days of text-based Unix MAIL and PINE 
clients.
