Yes -- Still a Problem -- RE: [Web4lib] Set to Digest, but still getting lots!

[Elizabeth mckenty]

I don't know if this will help, but carefully check for multiple 
subscriptions, particularly if you are "gathering" from any old addresses. 
One of my old addresses was magically turned back "on" during the move, so I 
suddenly had two subscriptions. Once I found that, I unsubscribed from the 
old address.

Let me also recommend setting up a separate Gmail acount for your list 
traffic. On my Gmail list address (i.e., this address), I'm still using less 
than 0% of my 2222 MB, and I have kept 275 threads since November. I can 
check this account when I have time, and not worry about it crashing due to 
size restrictions.

Gmail also threads incoming messages beautifully--something completely 
impossible in digest. I can easily search on ANYTHING in my account. Need I 
mention you are all in my contacts (well, if you've posted at all since 
November, with no effort on my part?

I am not a shill for Google; just wanted to share something I've found 
useful. Should any of you desire a Gmail invitation, kindly drop me a line. 
Have a little patience, since I probably won't check again until this 
evening (EST).
