A thread, in a group like ours, is a series

of related postings on a subject (the

original and all the replies). When a

person picks a thread, he/she will read

all the related posts at one time, then

go to another grouping.

Hope this helps.

Janelle,

>ok that explains that part.. now, How do i do this?

Ok.. this seems a good time to explain the subject line...

If someone sends a message to the list concerning " Center Staffing "

that becomes the " thread " ....

If you are replying to that message... " Center Staffing " should be in

the subject line...

That way anyone interested in " Center Staffing " can look through

his/her email... and open those with " Center Staffing " in the

subject line. In this particular case... I'm sending all messages

with " Center Staffing " to a special folder... Going to save them

for future use....

I read most of my mail... but occasionally a threat will start in which I have

no interest.. I can look through my email and if I see messages

with that " thread " in the subject line.... I can delete them... and

not have to open them... just a time saver.

Make sense?

Typing error...

Occasionally a " threat " will start...

should have read thread...

Hope no " Threats " start here (grin)

The easiest way to pick a thread and go with it--I use Outlook Express,

which makes it really easy. Up at the top of the inbox are bars labeled

from, subject, and date. Whichever way you want the e-mails sorted, click

on that bar and it will sort them that way. So if you click on the

" subject " bar, all the e-mails with the same subject will be together and

you can read them in order!

Hope this helps!
