Hi all,
I subscribe to the cocoa-dev list RSS feed instead of receiving
individual or digest emails. I find this approach is a fast and
convenient method to scan the topics, examine individual messages and
receive regular updates to the cocoa-dev's content without flooding my
inbox. In contrast, if I choose to use the digest mode, I have to
scroll or search digests for particular topics and delete digest
messages once I'm done with them, which is obviously more tedious.
Using an RSS feed reader, it can automatically check for new content
and with a keystroke investigate or dismiss content. Given that I read
the list more than I contribute to it, I prefer using the RSS feed.
However the RSS feed approach carries two problems. Firstly, I cannot
reply to individuals off-list because their email addresses are
censored. Finally, my contributions become tedious to compose as I
have to copy and paste relevant information such as previous messages
and subject headers into the new reply.
Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions? Or should I settle for the
cumbersome digest mode?
Thanks,
Kiel Gillard
