A Deleting Tip:

I'm on about 8 listserv.  Some very active.  I use Trevor's method.   To speed
the delete process in Netscape click on subject tab in mail headers.  This will
sort messages by Subject.  You can group delete all the   "bio"  subject header
with a shift-click
And the old delete key.  Takes 20 seconds.

Cheers,  Barry
