Annemehr:
I'm going to respond on the list because I think it might be helpful 
to quite a few members.  Sorry if I'm wrong!

If you are looking for only non-OoP posts beginning June 21st, then it 
certainly would be easiest to read on line.  Just bring up the message 
index and you will see only the subject lines, and you can search for 
the ones that do not begin with OoP.  After you've found and read one 
of those, just click "back" or "message index" to get back to the list 
of subject headings to find the next non-OoP message.  As there won't 
be very many of these, this should be the quickest as well as safest 
way to find them.

By the way, I read all the messages on line now.  After you bring up 
the message index, if you hit "expand messages," you will get a batch 
of messages displayed in full, so that it looks just like an email 
digest -- you can just scroll down and read them.  There is only one 
ad at the top, and you only have to hit "next" after you've read -- I 
forget -- about 20 messages or so?  It's very convenient.

Hope I've been helpful...
