I, too, was in danger of becoming an email packrat. Since I subscribe to the midwife list as well, this could quickly become very overwhelming. For those of you who operate Windows-based programs, there is a neat little program usually in the "Accessories" group called Notepad. As I go thru my email (my links are thru another Windows-based program), I save pertinent references or tidbits of information by copying them to a file in the Notepad program. I have many Notepad files, arranged by subject so that I can keep separate files for things like medication info, slow gain, jaundice, etc. Then I discard what I do not need. That keeps my saved email from cluttering my hard-drive unnecessarily, and allows me to find important information I wanted to save more easily since I can simply look up the reference under the topic. Information stored in this way can easily be printed or even retrieved in word processing files if one is running a Windows-based word processor. Ione Sims, GNM, IBCLC
