Please learn about the legends you try to invoke. Godwin's Law states that as the length of a discussion increases, the odds of Hitler, Nazis, et al. being mentioned approaches 1:1. Threads typically die down after the criteria of Godwin's Law is met, though deliberately trying to kill a thread in such a manner usually guarantees it's longevity. http://ursine.ca/Godwin%27s_Law I would strongly suggest using gnus, KMail or similarly full-featured MUAs for reading high volumes of mail. Such MUAs have facilities for thread management, such as ignore and watch. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.ca http://ursine.ca/~baloo/
