How to monitor fop-dev without overloading my mailbox?
Is there a way to monitor the fop-dev exchanges without receiving loads of
emails?
I'm thinking of some form of newsgroup subscription where I can scan the
fop-dev list, and contribute, separate from my mail account(?)

Someone has already suggested this - it is a common feature of mailing lists.
I hadn't seen how to do it with this list but someone said it was possible so I
read the signature attached to all messages on this list:

and then emailed fop-dev-help@xml.apache.org
Oooh - it isn't a proper email address - ezmlm (the mailing list software)
comes back with a helpful error message. It doesn't say anything about
digests though.
So I am left as before - not aware of any means to get this list in digest
format.
PS the error message suggests that you can get the fop-dev-faq by mailing
fop-dev-faq@xml.apache.org but when you do so you only get an error in return.
Is this fixable? Who should I contact about it or can I fix it myself since
I have an account on one of the apache.org machines....

Some of the Sun mailing lists (c.f. Java 2D) have a "daily digest" mode in
which
you get one email daily with everything appended together in order of arrival.
Perhaps that software is available ? The downside to the digest is that it
becomes
very hard to reply to an individual msg, preserving multi-level >, >>
markers etc.

I think what you aim for is a news-group. And actually - a news-group
has some advantages.
I can recommend Forte Agent 1.8 (what I'm using). Although it's most a
news-reader (and only by the way a mail-software) it has all the
functions (what I think) you need:
An incoming "daily digest"-mail is automatically splitted into its
discretes mails and threaded by subject (option "enable threading
by subject" must be enabled).
You can specify filters and rules to get and delete the particular
mail-list mails from your mail-server and leave all other mails on the
server (Although I had no experience myself with this options.
Likewise I don't know whether this option works in the Version "Forte
Free Agent" that is free for personal use.) http://www.forteinc.com/

I think there is a need for a batched fop-dev email subscription so that you
get one message a day with loads of messages inside it. I haven't seen the method
for doing this with this list though. If there is a way then perhaps that will
help...
Of course you could possibly just look at the web archives each day...
