[BLDG-SIM] An eQUEST mailing list?

[Murray Milne]

I find myself constantly opening and deleting BLDG-Sim emails, all 
day long... Is there a way to collect each day's postings into one 
email like EnergyPlus does... That way there would not have to be 
this split/no-split issue because it would be easy for each of us to 
do a quick sort for whatever topics might be of interest...
