controlling email from Yahoo

The Naturerecordists group has been unusually busy over the weekend.
I can fully understand how people might be upset by receiving 50
emails a day from Yahoo on topics they don't care to read.

The solution (short of abandoning the group altogether) is to tell
Yahoo to stop sending emails!   Once the emails stop, use your web
browser to review the messages posted to Naturerecordists.

Here's how to turn off email messages:

Point your web browser at
http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups?o=3D2&edit=3D1
You'll be prompted to log in with your Yahoo user name and password.

Now you should be looking at a list of the Yahoo groups you elected to
join.

Look down the left side for the NatureRecordists group.
Now look to the right to the column labeled "Message Delivery"
>From the drop-down list, select "No Email" from NatureRecordists
Now click on the "Save Changes" button at the top of the page.

Next, here's how to view posts to the NatureRecordists group using a
web browser.

Point your web browser at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/naturerecordists/messages/

If you're not logged in, you'll be prompted to do so.

Here you'll see a list of the most recent posts to the group.
Use the "older" button to see previous days' posts.

If you see a post you're interested in, click on its name.
This will take you to a screen where you can see the message text,
and also all antecedent messages.  Follow these links to read the
message thread from its beginning.

Give the web browser approach a try for a couple of days and see how
it can save you lots of time and aggravation deleting email messages
you don't care to receive.  If you don't like this approach, you can
always change back to receiving individual emails.
