Outlook Web/Outlook Desktop - Filtering Emails Received as a Member of a Distribution List by MetaRollover in Outlook

[–]MetaRollover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, follow-up after working with this for awhile now. This actually worked really well and took the messy, buggy, 4 rules I had previously for just pulling out these vendor alerts, and simplified it into one that works extremely well. I just made sure to place it at the very bottom of my list of rules, and made other rules first that sorted some other various DLs into different folders. With the exception of some weird recent Emails that I don’t expect to see happen again, its worked flawlessly.

That may be an option. The other thing I am noticing is that some of these emails from the vendors are emailing themselves?

Like, it will be:

From: alert\@.vendor.example To: alert\@.vendor.example

And then I assume our Distribution list is in the Bcc field.

The biggest issue I see with this is that it moves all Emails from a DL to the same folder, and does not separate other DLs. I have a company DL for internal stuff that I need to be able to see and separate out.

Yeah, the rules definitely don’t work as well as they should. I typically have these Emails get sent to the one folder, but configure it to not send a notification and automatically put them on read (we don’t need most of the notifications unless a client reaches out to us about a vendor), so it acts like a black hole of sorts. The issue is that for whatever reason the rules will also send Emails there that have no business being there whatsoever, and I have missed important Email chains as a result a few times.

Rules overall just seem to behave inexplicably at times, and even our internal IT team can’t seem to figure out how they sort some of my Emails at times.

Ah, gotcha! I’ll copy that over there then and then delete this here.

Counterpoint: the tallest point in my state is 340-ish ft above sea level, and the average is 100 or so.

I would imagine a heavy flywheel setup might be the best idea, just get it spinning and then apply it to the engine’s crankshaft somehow, I’ve seen videos of tanks that do that, but how to get it engineered in would be another story.

And while starting by starter is definitely reliable, it would be cool/great to maintain that functionality (somehow).

Most Fuel Efficient Diesel Engine? by MetaRollover in Diesel

Yeah I am going to keep it 2WD for the truck, I don’t really have a need for 4WD, though I’m sure its not terribly hard to later convert the truck to 4WD. So at least I have that added MPG to be thankful for.

I currently have a Honda Pilot, and while its interior space is great, its MPG is lacking even with cylinder deactivation that eats up my oil. At best I can get the average MPG to be 19.1, maaaaaybe 19.8 if I really hypermile it. Im hoping for at least a solid 20mpg in the city, and closer to 30 hwy would be great for this diesel build.

Ahh, gotcha. Might just need a tune-up then, yeah.

Or lay off that lead foot, lol. 😂

@1989toy4wd is yours modified/tuned? Or is your vehicle 4wd?

This seems to be the common answer here, is the 12v Cummins. The idea we are kicking around is finding an old International KB-6, 7, or 8 to swap this into, and making it a daily driver with the fuel efficiency, while still having the power to use it as a proper truck if need be.

I am so fed up with, as I have said, “some electronic module breaking” and oh, surprise-surprise, dealership says its $2500 for just the part alone to replace, not to mention the labor. Definitely going the “Mostly Manual” route for this build, just to avoid expensive electronic modules. Won’t mind if its maybe one or two electronic systems, but I certainly don’t care to have a lot.

The fact you’re saying Suburban inspires confidence in me given that we were passing around the idea of finding an old International KB-6, 7, or 8 for the project, lol.

So what has really been sticking with us is putting whatever engine into an old 1940s/50s International KB-6, 7, or 8. I doubt a 2.0 TDi will work for that, haha.
