I have just started to really use the wanted list feature, and a couple of things
that I think would be really helpful would be
1) to have the option of registering a separate email address for wanted notifications
so that my regular email doesn't get bogged down.
and 2) to have the item that I'm being notified about be listed in the subject
line instead of just Bricklink Wanted Item Notify.

Thanks for considering this,
Katie

Hello Katie,

The first one you can implement easy by yourself. Just set a rule for incomming
e-mail. If the subject is "BrickLink Wanted Item Notify" let the mail redirected
to a specified folder.

Second is a bit harder, but it is also doable to make the first lines of a mail
visible when you look over them.

I hope it helps you,
Regards,
Marcel

Thanks for the help. If it comes to that I may have to upgrade my email or get
a different server. The one I have now has the barest of options, and neither
of these features can be implemented.
I would love to have my paypal shipping label notifications get sent automatically
to a separate folder.

It might be worth getting another e-mail service; as even many "free" ones have
filtering options. I have had filters on mine for 10 years and Wanted Item notifications
go to that folder before I see them. Bricklink-related contacts and even Moderator
alerts go into their own folders.

My main E-mail screen looks similar to this:
Inbox (10)
WANTED ITEM! (3)
{my name for Bricklink folder} (1)
Moderator Reports (3)
{wife's name} (375)
Work (15)
Friends (6)
Facebook (0)
etc. etc.

Many items on my wanted list rarely come up for sale, so I click those first
usually.
