[MR] Two email lists for our kingdom?

[William De Faleston]

This is a bad idea. Discussions are healthy. Well, most discussions anyway. The problem is that  most discussions start FROM announcements. This means the announcements would have to be duplicated to both lists.

If your inbox is filling up, you may want to consider using filters to route your merry rose mail into a specific folder. Then you can simply open the folder and ignore anything with an RE: in the subject line. It's fairly easy to set up. I can point you to tutorials For just about every email system
