<p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Dealing With Mailing List Traffic =<br />
<br />
This page is started on DuaneNickull's [http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2007-03/msg00379.html#nid05 suggestion] on 2007.03.21 (regarding the [http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2007-03/msg00378.html high list traffic issue we were facing]) <br />
<br />
== Using Filter(s) on your Mail Client ==<br />
<br />
As Chris Menzel once suggested, among the best ways to do this is to<br />
receive the distribution in "normal" (into your inbox) mode (rather<br />
than "digest" mode"), but set the filter on your mail client to put it<br />
away in a separate folder (rather than your "inbox") so you can read<br />
it at a time more suitable to yourself. <br />
<br />
'''For Microsoft Outlook (with Microsoft Exchange Server)''' (--MatthewWest / 2007.03.23) <br />
<br />
* You need to be using Outlook online rather than offline. <br />
* From the menu: <br />
* Tools, rules wizard <br />
* New <br />
* Select: Check message when it arrives <br />
* Next <br />
* Check: with specific words in the subject <br />
* Select: specific words <br />
* enter: string to look for, e.g. [ontolog <br />
* Add <br />
* OK <br />
* Next <br />
* Check: move it to the specified folder <br />
* Select: specfied folder <br />
* browse for folder required <br />
* Next <br />
* Enter name for the rule, e.g. ONTOLOG <br />
* Finish <br />
