Most e-mail software now has the capability to sort and file mail into folders or files automatically, which is really a big help if you have a lot of e-mail to deal with. But you have to set up a key upon which the sorting mechanism works, and as e-mail from the Vanagom list is currently handled is not possible. It would require a key in the heading of every single message to set it up. That apparently is not being done at this time. Hope this can be changed.

I currently receive my Vanagon list mail all mixed in with other mail. Confusing, and takes a good bit of time to sort out.
