Post by thread:How can I identify incoming PICLIST email?

I receive PICLIST messages in the daily digest form, largely because I otherwise receive a very large number of individual messages which other email can get lost amongst. An obvious (?) solution is to automatically transfer PICLIST messages into their own inbox. Unfortunately, they do not seem to have any common characteristic which I can use to identify them. I am using Internet Explorer 4 which has the ability to filter on contents of various fields but presumably other browsers offer similar capability. What are other people doing to address this problem?

I am new at this, but I also use filters in Netscape 4.04. You can set up all kinds of cryteria for the sort.

I filter mine by the sender spot in the header and look for PICLIST - works every time! At 09:18 PM 2/8/98 -0500, you wrote: {Quote hidden}>I am new at this, but I also use filters in Netscape 4.04.
