Reading egroup messages


Fred J. Keene
 

How can I separate the egroup digest into separate messages? And.. NO, I do not want to receive individual messages as they just clutter up a mailbox.

With other digests I use the utility Burst to extract the individual messages, but I have not been able to use it successfully with the new egroup digest.

The value to me in having separate messages is that I can select the ones that I want to save, and then transfer them to another mailbox.

I use a program called "Digest Viewer". I save the entire message in a folder called, very cleverly, "Digests". I subscribe to 2 other groups that are digest form. In "Digest Viewer", go to browse folder and the the messages appear individually. It also groups the messages (all those RE: the same subject are together). I think I found it at download.com.

What mail client are you using? Eudora? Entourage? Outlook Express? or what?
The specific answer to your question depends on what mail client you have.

I use Entourage. I subscribe to a number of lists, some digest, some
individual messages. With all of them, I have filters or rules set up to
route the incoming messages to a folder set aside for that mailing list. To
me, that answers your desire to have the individual messages in a separate
"mailbox" or folder. You don't need the digest at all, if you route the
incoming mail to its own folder to begin with.

In Entourage, the mailing list manager can automatically burst incoming
digest messages. That's another option; receive the digest, route it to a
folder, and automatically burst it.

I wrote a script for Entourage that will burst a digest on request if you
don't do it automatically on receipt.

The program "Digest Viewer" might be an option for you, but you have to save
the digest as a text file external to the mail client.
