[DeTomaso] NPC-Forum on Google Chrome Gmail

[Matt]

Hi again,
Thank you for the replies about the Gmail issue.
Rob Dumoulin suggested this to me:

"I suggest you create a Pantera folder in your gmail inbox. Switch your
preferences to be every email rather than a daily digest. When the first
one comes in, create a rule based on the sender's name and tell the rule to
skip the inbox and move the message to the new pan tera folder. The threads
stay nice and organized allowing you to choose a subject line and see any
replies together."

So I did. I didn't even know you could do that! Now I have 2 tabs for my
inbox. One is Primary mail and the other is Forums. All Detomaso post go
right into the forum page. When I set it up it even pulled ALL previous
Detomaso post clogging up my Primary folder into the one Forum folder. I
can also reply directly to specific post without having to cut and paste
from the digest version of delivery. Perfect

Give it a try Michael!  Nothing is ever "It is what it is". No offense
intended but I have always disliked that saying. I prefer "It is what you
make it!"

Thanks again,Good day!

Matt

   The most recent three responses are 2-3 lines each, but each of those
   responses are really almost 2000 lines each. Back to back to back
   that turns into a mess in the digest. The 8 posts sent on July 6
   (July 7 Digest) are almost 20,000 lines. Uggh!
   What can we do about it? Probably nothing. If responders just add
   text without editing what they are responding to then we just get
   stuck with the clutter. Depending on the mail client it's not obvious
   what is being sent. No one is going to edit dozens or hundreds of
   lines out of an included email on a phone.
   It is what it is. . .
