Larry,
You may wish to use "Outlook" to manage this account for you.
I have a "Rule" which places all my Vanagon List e-mails into a separate
Outlook folder, which I can sort, clean, make sub-folders regarding various
repair topics etc. A very efficient way to maximize the value of the great
minds on this list, with efficiently locating information.
Configuring Outlook 2003 or XP for Gmail POP3 Access
Follow these steps to configure Gmail and Outlook account use:
In the Outlook main menu, click Tools, then E-mail Accounts. This launches
the E-mail Accounts wizard.
Select Add a new e-mail account, then click Next.
Select POP3, then click Next.
Enter your Gmail account information here for Outlook 2003.
Enter your name (as you want it to appear in the From field of messages)
into the Your Name field.
Enter your full Gmail email address, which is your username followed by
"@gmail.com", in the E-mail Address field.
Enter your Gmail username in the User Name field.
Enter your Gmail password in the Password field.
Enter "pop.gmail.com" in the Incoming mail server (POP3) field.
Enter "smtp.gmail.com" in the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) field.
Click More Settings to open the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
Click the Outgoing Server tab.
Set the My outgoing server requires authentication check box.
Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Incoming server (POP3), set the This server requires an encrypted
connection (SSL) check box.
Under Outgoing server (SMTP), set the This server requires an encrypted
connection (SSL) check box.
Change the number in the Outgoing server (SMTP) field to 465, then click OK.
Click Test Account Settings. After a moment you should see a message that
says all tests were completed successfully. If not, go back to the start of
this procedure and check your work.
Once you see the success message, click Next then Finish.
That's the last step in the procedure to configure Outlook for Gmail. Now
you can use the CTRL-1 keyboard shortcut to go to the Mail view.
Next press F9 to send and receive all mail. This downloads messages from
Gmail. Seeing them in the Inbox will show that you were able to successfully
configure Gmail as an Outlook email account.

Subject: trimming replies in gmail
I would like to do my part to reduce clutter in the archives by trimming out
unneeded previous posts in a thread when I make a reply.
Since I've started using gmail, however, I can't figure out how to do
this. I can hilight the portion that I want to remove, but when I go to
windows edit, the "cut" function is not active.
I can't find any gmail function that looks promising. Can some
knowledgeable gmail user tutor me a little?
Thanks,
Larry A.
