[Coco] Thread mess?

[Salvador Garcia]

Good point, I was going to ask about this.

I am relatively new to lists. I have always used Groups (such as Yahoo or Google groups) and forums. I had originally set it to feliver a digest to my email, but I am getting them as individual emails. While I find this impractical, it is very easy to reply.

Since I don't fully understand lists the following might be silly questions. My objective is to use a client of some sorts to receive the list's emails eclusively while receiving other email elsewhere. Is this possible? My inbox is being inundated by "CoCo" emails and need some way to organize them in some way. Any advice is welcomed. Salvador

But what about the people who get the daily digest...  That will always break a 
thread.
