- Although there have been good points made for individual articles I
- have to say my prefence would be atleast digest sized issues by category
- because I have too much misc mail from other lists and things that its
- hard to keep track of already.
-
- Actually just thinking about it while writing this I guess I could
- handle individual articles if a common header system in used like:
- Subject: F5E - SF UPDATE or
- Subject: F5E: Techno Update
-
- Then they would be easier to keep track of: I could just put 'em in the
- specific Subject folder or cat 'em into long files by subject.
- which would make less difficult to keep track of.
