As a matter of policy, I set up a folder in my e-mail account for
"Subscription Notices", where I retain all messages with the addresses and
instructions for listservs, magazines, and other on-line services I've
elected to subscribe to.  It's a "RIM thing", I guess.

And if you elect to, as mentioned by many, you can set the subscription to
DIGEST, where you receive ONE message a day with all of the content, or
even set it to NO MAIL, and then simply go into the Archives and view the
messages at your leisure.

I wonder how many of these same folks are concerned with the volume of IMs
or Text messages they receive a day =)

What a good suggestion... maybe there is something YOU could provide to the
rest of us as well... I mean, SOME of us are OLD, but we STILL want to learn!!!
