Mike -- Depending on your email client you should be able to configure it so
that all OM list individual emails wind up in a special folder... even
though you share the email address, your computer will sort the incoming
mail and route the OM list messages (which always start out [OM] in the
subject line, use that to set up the rule/message filter) so you could go
directly and first to the OM folder to read the really important messages
first... <g>. As it does this it will leave everyone elses messages in the
'inbox' and you will have your OM mail in its special folder, as individual
messages.
