For those who wish to reduce email flow from BEE-L, yet still receive BEE-L, there are several options: 1. One is to change the subscription option to BEE-L to DIGEST by sending email to [log in to unmask] saying SET BEE-L DIGEST 2. The other option is to send email to [log in to unmask] saying SET BEE-L NOMAIL, and at the same time sending email to [log in to unmask], saying JOIN BESTOFBEE [log in to unmask] (where [log in to unmask] is your the email address to which you want the list to be sent). The first option -- digest -- will get you only one message per day from BEE-L, with *all* the day's messages in it. The second option -- subscribing to Best of Bee -- will bring you only selected and edited posts from BEE-L, a reduction of 10 to 90% (about 90% in recent days). This option is best suited to experienced or professional beekeepers who wish to avoid very basic discussions and chatter, but still track what is happening on BEE-L. There are currently 199 subscribers to Best of Bee. Best of Bee is also available in digest form by sending email to [log in to unmask], saying DIGEST BESTOFBEE [log in to unmask] For more information, send email to [log in to unmask], saying SEND BESTBEE in the subject line. You will receive a text file in return. For those who want to know the selection and editorial policies of Best of Bee, send email to [log in to unmask], saying SEND CRITERIA in the subject line. --- I normally acknowledge all email received.
