Another way to manage newgroups
As coincidence would have it, I came across an article that mentioned BlogLines email subscriptions service… How did I not know this before? I guess because when I started using BlogLines, I pretty much dropped all my email subscriptions because I was so enamored with RSS. Now that I’m back on the newgroup/email list wagon, I will give this one a try…
Set up a Bloglines account, then scroll down to the bottom of the navigation window and select “Create Email Subscriptions”. Bloglines will assign you an email address that kinda looks like garyfugere.13999089@bloglines.com. Why set up a Bloglines email account? Here it is in Bloglines own words:
“Bloglines free email accounts allow people to receive email newsletter subscriptions within their MyBloglines page. This helps to reduce traffic through your primary email inbox and helps to contain the spam menace. A Bloglines email account gives you a trump card when a newsletter breaks the rules of opt-in marketing. When you unsubscribe from a Bloglines email subscription, the email address disappears. You never have to worry about trying to find the unsubscribe instructions for an unwanted mailing list.”
