If this is a problem, you can ask to receive Love-Hounds as a daily
auto-digest.  I support both a digest and individual messages.  With the
digest, you are much more likely to receive everything in the proper
order.  Of course, with the digest, there is up to a 24 hour delay from
when an article is submited to when you receive it.  However, this
problem is even more pronounced with a newsgroup.

In any case, all three forms can be supported at once: individual
messages through mail, daily auto-digest, and newsgroup.

I asked about it there and someone sent me a letter saying to wait a few
more weeks and see if the mailing list is still thriving.  So it's up
to you guys to make sure that it continues to do so.  Keep the mail on
music, etc., coming!
