I have tried to email questions, but they have never been responded to. I
have been getting everyone else's emails, which is in the hundreds.

I don't know why I haven't gotten through about my questions . . . .

Please let me know how I can do this. Thank you.

I no longer want to receive everyone else's emails.

I have tried to email questions, but they have never been responded to.

This seems to be untrue:
o Your message of 25 May 2012 ("Documents do strange things") resulted in thirteen list replies, and you must have seen these, as one reply was from you!
o Your message of 15 March 2012 ("Problem with LibreOffice-text won't stay put") resulted in eight list replies, including three from you.

I have been getting everyone else's emails, which is in the hundreds.

That is the nature of a mailing list.

I don't know why I haven't gotten through about my questions . . . . Please let me know how I can do this.

Er, improve your recall?! (And note that you will not see your own messages to the list echoed back to you, but that is a quirk of Gmail, your mail provider, which sees trashing these copies as helpful!)

I no longer want to receive everyone else's emails.

Then you no longer want to be subscribed to the list.

I trust this helps.

From one computer I see my own replies and from another computer I don't, there is a definite quirk there. But to make up for sometimes not seeing my own replies I always get your replies in stereo, although I haven't figured out which is the left and right channel.

Hello Wanda, sorry your questions haven't been getting replies. If you've
been sending your questions to users@global.libreoffice.org they're going
to the right place.

As for everyone else's email... that's the way mailing lists work. You get
all the mail. Your mail program can assist in filtering so it all goes to
some folder other than your inbox but you'll still get all the email.

That said there are some options. Unsubscribe from the list and you won't
get email. Subscribe to the list digest and you'll get one email (not sure
how frequently, daily or weekly) that contains a list of the messages
posted for that period. I believe the email includes links to the messages
so if one is relevant to you click the link and you can read it.

...and a correction. There is a "no mail" version of the list. You post
your questions. You don't get any mail from the list. To see if your
questions are getting answers you must go online to the list archive,
https://www.mail-archive.com/users@global.libreoffice.org/ , and search
there to see if you've gotten answers.

To subscribe to the "no mail" version send email to
users+subscribe-nomail@global.libreoffice.org.

Hi :slight_smile:
Yeh, i click a tick-box somewhere to set something to avoid sending me
duplicates and i think another box somewhere to avoid sending me emails i
sent. I still send myself things by email but now instead of being alerted
by seeing it in my in-tray i have to remember and dig around in my outbox.
So 1 handy tool, that helped me with my memory issues, has gone. Such is
life though.

Wrt using Nabble or Gmane or weekly bulletins, as opposed to getting every
single email, it all kinda relies on unsubscribing first and then
resubscribing with the appropriate settings doesn't it? The link for help
with these sorts of things is at the bottom of each email (but who reads
every sig, right? I know i don't.)
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/
I really kinda like Nabble. I was really tempted to use it instead of
using the normal email system too but then i stopped using Yahoo and
suddenly emailing became a lot more sensible and organised (err, apart
from the disappearance of the memory jogging tool).

So, i am glad to hear you have been getting possibly the highest hit-rate
of anyone asking questions here but i'm sorry to hear it's not been helping
you enough to be memorable. Maybe you are a bit like me then. :slight_smile:

Tom :slight_smile:
