TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Eric's message about the techwr-l digest format prompted me to share
this little technique for reading the digest. I had stopped getting
techwr-l in digest format for a while because I found it hard to scroll
through looking for topics. But I hated having up to 100 messages a day
in my mailbox.
Do a search for the word 'subject.' That takes you to the top of each
message in the digest. If you don't want to read that one, search
again. I use Netscape mail, which lets me use F3 to search again, so I
can whiz through the digest quite quickly.
If I find something I want to save, I copy it and send it to myself. If
I want to reply, I copy the message's address.
