    On a sort of side point, I've recently started using the highlight
    feature in evolution to apply colours to incoming mail where the
    'sender' matches certain criteria - doing this lets me assign a pleasant
    (but obvious) colour to people I know and/or whose postings are
    interesting (respectively red and redorange), and a vile colour to those
    whose postings are silly/downright stupid (respectively forest green and
    lime green).

    Doing this, I've found, gives me a great indicator as to the qualities
    of a thread - a large amount of either colour clearly indicates the
    general tone of the thread (and a large amount of both tends to indicate
    a 'hot topic'). Suffice it to say that unless looking for a comedy
    moment in my afternoon, I tend to ignore those putrid green threads and
    head straight for a red.

    Particularly for high-volume lists like this one and security basics, I
    find that this method pays dividends!

     - James.
