Kim,
Absolutely!!!

You can choose to get the Daily Digest, which means you'll get a daily compilation of many emails in one message. It will probably be a long message but you can skim through it.

Another option is to read the emails on line. In that case you will get no messages (unless they are special messages from the moderator). You'll be able to go to the web page for the group and scan through the messages and pick the ones you want to read. To read the emails on line you would go to the same link above (I suggest you add it to your Favorites). Then click Messages. You can play around with how the list of messages displays. If you wanted to, you could only read emails from certain people or those that have interesting subject lines. Your choice.

Here's how to make the change.

Go to the web page for the weight loss list:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/yldweightloss

Click on Edit Membership (it's near the top)

In the section that says "Message Delivery", you can pick either Daily Digest or Special Notices. (We ask people do NOT select No Email, in case we need to send out a special notice.)

Hope that helps,
Kitty
