Advices on mailers and Google Groups

Advice on mailers:

• Stop (today, not next month) using any mailer that does not allow threaded presentation of messages. Use mailers that allow both threaded and un-threaded presentations.
• Stop (today, not next month) using any mailer that does not allow you to filter unwanted messages intuitively and quickly.
• Use mailers that allow drag and drop, shift-clicking and control-clicking.
  

Advice on Google Groups:

• If you are a member of a Google Group, you should (read MUST) have a Google account. Your Google account will make your life much easier. It allows you (after log in)
  • to read and search your Google group mail archives. Note that a corollary of this is that you do not need to store any of your group messages.
  • to change your group status. For example, you can opt for one digest message a day when you are overwhelmed by the volume of the messages, or even to opt for no mail.
