Re: List question

There is an EMC mailing list proper that I set up a few months ago to
alert
EMC users of new releases, etc. To subscribe to this, send mail to:

listproc@...

with

subscribe emc

in the body of the message. To unsubscribe, do the same, with
"unsubscribe emc"
instead.

The list itself is "emc@...". Anyone can post; only subscribers
will get
the postings.

The problem with emc@... is that you already need to know about the
EMC
to benefit from it. That's why the EMC postings started popping up on
the
CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO mail list. I was surprised at the amount of EMC
postings, which
dwarf those on the emc@... list.

Of course, if you aren't interested in the EMC, it's a pain to have to
hop
through all the related messages. One way to reduce traffic on this list
is
for EMC users to post most of the discussion to the emc@... list,
especially if it's something that's not likely to elicit new interest
from
anyone on the CAD/CAM list.

I myself sort email by subject, and then trash anything in a subject I
don't
have the time to read. You can also filter messages by subject, so if
[CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] and EMC appear in the subject line, you can trash it
or move
it to a folder that you may only read and trash periodically.
