You should probably set your subscription to Digest Mode, if I
understand your statment correctly.

One thing one would have to look at in using forums is the technical
specs of the forum host/softwar/etc. ... because a lot of people are
using their Newtons to read this stuff. Logging into some forums I've
seen require JavaScript support, Java, ASP, and a whole bunch of TLAs
I've yet to run into ...!
So ... Digest Mode is your friend (IMO).
