Cyndie,
have you ever considered specifying a subject on your emails?
I read the ADSM mailing list on a daily basis. The majority of
submissions are of no interest to me. I filter by subject. Yours have no
subject. I have to read them in order to determine whether I want to
read them. I cannot reject all your mails out of hand as some are
interesting. A subject would be really useful!
Regards, Ian
