The first and most important thing to remember is that the emails are not the board - at all.
They are only a link to a smattering of thread links selected by a software routine.
They barely scratch the surface of all that's available here.
If you know you want to come to the board often, the emails are a waste of time.

You never need those emails to connect to the board.

You can add it to your browser favorites/bookmarks, put a shortcut on your desktop, or (if you are a total QB junkie like me) you can make it your home page.
Try using the direct route.
You might find you like it better. :-)

Hotmail, due to a security feature, does not display all the content as originally formatted (missing links). There is an option to “Show Content” If the user does that he/she should be able to see links. Also the user needs to add QB email to its safe list.
It may be that other services have done so, too.
You may already have done the following. If not, please do:
