To: Hi everyone, I just thought I would share how I have felt bewildered with all the good and useful info on this list after joining. Was worried about losing it, or wondering if I'd be able to find the helpful tips, later, when I might really need them. I have discovered a good system, if anyone is interested.

When I click on FILE on my emails from this list, I am given the option to copy it to a folder. So I have made a list of Folders for SCD, like, inspiration, vitamins, referrals, recipes, Iron, Probiotics, interesting things, etc, and as I come across something from the Digests, that I want to file for later, I copy it across to these folders I've made. It's GREAT!! Now I can keep the best of what comes up on this list, and access the info at any later date really easily.

Oh. By the way. Someone from another Crohn's support list, said they had bought Elaine's book, and didn't want to do the diet. When I suggested buying the book from them, they insisted it be a gift!! So I am waiting for it to arrive now from Israel. Cool, eh? Solved my problem perfectly. Can't wait to start.

Webmasters' Note: Yes, Melody, that's quite a method! Most Windows and Mac users are familiar with the "folders" concept. Additional suggestion: make subfolders in your email program, and then use the mouse to drag the messages into the appropriate locations.
