[A6] New A6 homepage up and running

[Chris Pickett]

Hi Kurt,

Perhaps you would enjoy an email program that filtered your mail into 
different folders.  I've noticed you complain about discussions on this 
list a few times.  Although, for example, I have 949 unread messages on 
the AH list (which easily has 10 times the traffic the A6 list has -- I 
simply can't keep up with it all), it doesn't bother me because they get 
automatically redirected.  If those messages were cluttering my inbox, 
it would piss me off to no end.  I also thread messages so that they're 
sorted by topic instead of by date, and only the first post in a thread 
is visible ... this too helps with high-volume mailing lists.  In turn, 
your mail client then starts to work more like a newsgroup, but only for 
messages in those specific folders.

I find the Thunderbird program for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X to be 
excellent.  It's also 100% free.  I also find the Mail program that 
comes with Mac OS X to be pretty good.  Both support these features.  I 
am not sure about Microsoft Entourage, maybe you can look and see.

Cheers,
Chris
