Applying the above filters to your mail allows you to control unwanted junk mail from filling up your inbox by deleting or sending selected mail directly into the trash folder. Add my address to your address book and send an e-mail message introducing yourself to the class listserv and tell a little about yourself before next class. In your message, include your previous computer training or knowledge and your field of study or why you are taking this course. I intend to create distribution lists in the various areas in order to share specialized information with you. Messages are sent to the list address and received in your mail inbox.
Some lists have a high volume of messages every day.
Others may only have a few messages a month. Some mailing lists have digests which are messages bundled into one daily message with a table of contents. Some Lists have archives which you may prefer to visit and read without filling up your mailbox. Some lists are moderated by an administrator, some are private , and some are totally public and unmoderated . In the latter, one needs to be very discriminating as to the veracity or accuracy of the information given.
