sorting alerts...attention site managers

CR4 no longer seems to have any facility to received recommendations, questions, or complaints in general so, hopefully, they will see this...if enough "participants" lend their fingers...?

Re: Subscribed boards/forums/blogs/etc. Making them manageable

The lists of alerts sent via email can become quite long--the longer, the less manageable. Other forums seem to have more "refined" ways of processing alerts: Some might include all or a portion of the posting to which the alert refers. Others will self-navigate to the exact post listed on the alert when...clicked. Others might make reference to the post reference number (this would be feasible in the case of CR4). What other suggestions could others offer???

Now here's the primary problem (let's call it a defect, or design flaw...in that it is substandard), which concerns the long lists of CR4 alerts that might appear in a subscribed member's email In box.

With other sites it is typically quite easy to sort the In-box subject line listing to obtain a sub-listing which comprises only those alerts containing a particular topic string (the thing that appears within quotation marks in the subject listing in one's In box). This is the case (with other sites) even though a subject line's topic string is enclosed in quotation marks (on those other sites)! However, with CR4-alert email messages, everything (all alpha...characters) will sort EXCEPT the topic string within the quotation marks. For some reason these characters (within CR4 string delimiters/quotation marks) are not "recognized" by one's...software...for purpose of sorting! The question is, Why? and Can this be fixed? Perhaps it is because the other sites (or the CR4 site) is actually using double quotations marks (so that the inner quotation marks become part of the string?) and this is causing (or averting) the problem??? Perhaps the CR4 subject line "text" is such that the quotation marks are recognized as end-of-line characters? Perhaps there actually are end-of-line characters inbedded--in front of the topics? Perhaps something else?

Please chime in--if you wish--if this non-capability to sort CR4-alert subject line's in one's email In box is as much a nuisance in managing subscribed forums for you as it is for this writer.

Thanks in advance...if CR4 managers see this and find a way to correct this problem.
