| Freecycle generates a lot of email. In
order to make your freecycling sessions with PKF productive and easy you
have to have a plan to handle all the mail.
You have a number of options as to how you view the mail.
You can change the way you view the messages on the public list by using
the "Edit My Membership" link that is over the green bar on
all pages of the PKF
yahoo groups web site. You have three choices:
- The default is individual emails. Getting all
the mail is a good way to read the list but requires good organization,
filtering and sorting. Having all the posts go to your email client
will clog your inbox. Setting up a separate folder (email box) and then
using a message word filter to move all email that has "[PKF]"
in the subject line will keep the list mail out of your inbox.
Even without filtering you still can organize
your inbox to easily read all the list mail. Many email clients have
sort headers. The default is usually time received but clicking "subject"
will sort all the list mail into one group for easy scanning and multiple
select deleting of the ones you don't want to read leaving only the
posts you might want to respond to.
- By choosing "daily digest" you will receive
only one or two long emails a day with all the list mail. The disadvantage
with digest is you don't get the mail as it is issued and may not be
able to respond soon enough to many offers.
- By choosing the "special notices" option
you will have you receive no list mail except administrative notices
from the moderators about important list information. You can still
read any of the regular list mail on the yahoo groups web site using
the "messages" link. Posts in the message area are current
and easily responded to right from the web site.
