Is there any point in responding to mail that more than 4 Lars> months old? You know, I wonder how many software package owners have similar problems (and what they do about it). My problem is that I enter a folder, and immediately hit C-M-> out of habit and only look at the last few. My mailing list for my coders mailing list (ding list equivalent) has 181 unread messages in it (which indicates messages I need to deal with). And I wonder the same thing. Is it worth the effort to respond when some of them are that old? They have certainly either solved the problem, discussion, or simply dropped it without my help at this point... Sigh... Let me know if you succeed. I tend to do the "Lars Heavy Response Wave" like you do where I hit huge mass mailing periods then enter silence again for a while. -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous.
