Most e-mail software now has the capability to sort and file mail into folders or
files automatically, which is really a big help if you have a lot of e-mail to
deal with. But you have to set up a key upon which the sorting mechanism works,
and as e-mail from the Vanagom list is currently handled is not possible. It
would require a key in the heading of every single message to set it up. That
apparently is not being done at this time. Hope this can be changed.

I currently receive my Vanagon list mail all mixed in with other mail. Confusing,
and takes a good bit of time to sort out.
