Wonder if that would work for Outlook.
(this being a test)

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
