Re: E-mail management question

Nabble does have its own account login, so you'd need to create that with them in order to *write* a post on their site. Reading is always open without an account.

Your mailing list subscription is managed here: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

 You can change your subscription settings or unsubscribe there. But, if I'm not mistaken, you need to be subscribed to the mailing list in order to use Nabble archive appropriately. However, you can create an email filter that pre-sorts any correspondence from the list, either to its own archivedd directory, or whatever.

Thanks Abraham and also thanks Werner.

I try both suggestions.

I see a method, though cumbersome, to post to this e-mail group without being a subscriber.  How does one stop being a subscriber if I choose that path?

Also, I see nabble has a login.  Does this site allow replies to the posts it contains?

Regards,

Lance,

On the other hand, all correspondence is archived according to these threads using the free Nabble service. You can find it here:

lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com

It keeps the conversations in a more familiar "forum"-like format, so you can go whenever you need without feeling like you have to be in the middle of every other conversation that comes up.

You should activate `thread view' in your e-mail reader.  Then you can
simply ignore all e-mails of a thread as a whole.

Additionally, just imagine that there are 70 newbies on the list, and
every one is asking a separate question.  How will you avoid 70
e-mails then?

As mentioned earlier on the list, the number of developers and
experienced users is too small to support both an e-mail list and a
forum.  And since the majority of the developers prefer an e-mail list
(me too, BTW, since it works much better offline), you have to bite
the bullet :-)

On the other hand, why don't you simply scan the e-mail archive at

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user

E-mails are archived within 30 minutes or so.
