<br>1. Set your subscription to digest. <br><br>With a "digest" subscription, you receive larger messages (called
"digests") at regular intervals, usually once per day or once per week.
These "digests" are collections of individual list postings. Digests are a good compromise between reading everything as it is
posted and feeling like the list is clogging your mailbox with a
multitude of individual postings.<br><br>2. Set your subscription to index. <br><br>With an "index" subscription, you receive short "index" messages at
regular intervals, usually once per day or once per week. These
"indexes" show you what is being discussed on the list, without
including the text of the individual postings. For each posting, the
date, the author's name and address, the subject of the message, and the
number of lines is listed. You can then download messages of interest
from the server (the index contains instructions on how to do that).
An index subscription is ideal if you have a slow connection and only
read a few hand-picked messages. The indexes are very short and you do
not have to worry about long download times. The drawback of course is
that you need to reconnect to retrieve messages of interest from the
server<br><br>3. Set your subscription to nomail. <br><br>This option toggles off the receipt of mail from the list. However, you will still be able to post to the list. You may want to
disable mail delivery if you will be away from your mail for an extended
period of time.<br><br>4. Configure your own email client to automatically kill/filter mail received from the list.<br><br>This option is the most customizable. E.g., you could filter all mail from a specific individual, or mail which contains specific words (e.g., knitters). <br>
<br><br>If you have further questions, please contact me off list. All of the list options above can be managed by the subscriber in the Subscribers Corner (look for the "Subscribe or Unsubscribe" link) at <cite>https://<b>listserv</b>.<a href="http://syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=" target="_blank">syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=</a><b>NCSG</b>-DISCUSS</cite> If none of these options work, I'm happy to unsubscribe you (or you can do this yourself).<br>

Nice idea. You'd have to find a local supply (or have someone bring hold<br>
baggage to bring in a bunch) though, since AFAIK knitting needles are amongst<br>
the terrible deadly weapons currently banned from being taken onto planes in<br>
the war on tourism. ICANN meetings are short enough that lots of attendees<br>
may well be flying hand luggage only (I know I would be).<br>
