Subject:Vanagon List and Outlook Rules

I have been a member of this list now for over a month, and have enjoyed the
"Countless" tips, threads and bits of information received.

What a great group of Volks!

As we all know how many e-mails we receive, I wanted to share a tip to those
who have and use "Microsoft Outlook".  If you haven't done so already, you
may want to set up a separate folder for e-mails from this list.  I setup a
folder called "!Vanagon List" using the "!" in the first position to place
this on the top of my Personal Folders.

Next, I used the "Tools, Rules and Alerts" feature to set up an "Outlook
Rule" so all e-mails coming from the list are sent to that folder.  Any
e-mail received directly from the list ends up there with a count of unread
e-mails.  (Note all Private e-mails still end up in my regular inbox).  By
doing this, you can use the "find" feature" to quickly locate e-mails with
topics that apply to your current opportunities.

Here is a link for specific directions to set this up yourself, if you are
using "Microsoft Outlook".

This is the style referred to as a Wolfy.  I have 175k on the body, and just
over 40k on the motor.
