until now what i always did was i sent myself an email and on the reference line i typed "Quiltmaker J/F 2010". that told me that Quiltmaker mag expired with the january/february issue of 2010. since it appeared on the topic line, i never had to open it. when it came through to my inbox i automatically put it into a folder called subscriptions. to see everything at once, i just had to click on the folder called subscriptions and everything came up in a column. i could check and see what was coming due without ever opening an email (which was empty anyway).
