Email. Can't live without it; can't set it on fire and dance naked around it. I get too much email, way more than I can handle. This is particularly true at work, where I get an email message every time someone posts to one of the forums I moderate (for example, right now at work my mailboxes have 2612 unread messages in various folders.) But that's to be expected, and you get paid to sort through all of it and deal with it. But my personal email is getting to be the same way. I mean, I didn't have 2600 new messages, but I did have over 500, all because I didn't check it in a few days. There's nothing to do in a situation like this except to scan for important stuff and then delete everything else (and if I've deleted one of yours without replying, I apologize, but I hope you understand). I'm a tremendous filterer. My mailbox has more subdirectories then, er, something with a lot of subdirectories. And so for some things, such as mailing lists, stuff not addressed directly to me, stuff with over 20 recipients, andthing with "HOT" or "TEEN" in subject line, etc, sorting isn't an issue. It all gets dumped into a folder and then straight to the trash. But for the other 200 some odd messages, this doesn't work. What I need is a more intuitive filter. Something that can detect funny, for example. Anybody got a funny filter?
