How do I find a list of schools that have told LSAC to waive my app fee?

Law School Application Filter: Is there a centralized place (on the LSAC site) where I can find out what law schools have given me application fee waivers?
As with all who checked the box to let schools contact you, I've been deluged with emails from law schools since I took the LSAT in June. I read them all at first, and some mentioned giving me an application fee waiver. The volume of emails has gotten too much to keep up with lately, so now I only read the ones from schools that I'm really interested in applying to even without an application fee waiver.
The schools' emails say "We have informed LSAC of your fee waiver." Is there a way on the LSAC site to find out what schools are giving me fee waivers?
I know I could pore through my email, and will if there's not a better way, but it would be cool to have a list of schools with fee waivers since I'm definitely more inclined to apply to a school I wasn't previously planning on if the application is free.

Response by poster: I know I can search my email, but if there is a place on the LSAC website where I could find it all consolidated and could go from there to the schools' applications, it would be handy, though obviously not a necessity.
The emails from the schools say that LSAC has been informed of the waivers, and since the waivers are for the electronic apps done through LSAC, they'd have to know of it in some capacity for it to go through without payment on their website. I'm asking both out of curiosity and for convenience.

I'd refrain from using a shotgun approach to law school apps. Even if the fees are waived, it still takes time to apply.
As for finding the e-mails, can you download the e-mails to Outlook through POP3 or IMAP and use the 'Find' feature?

Its been three years since I used LSAC, but I know that when I used it there was no such feature. Good luck with your aps!

Have you tried calling LSAC and asking if the feature exists? They'd probably have some idea.

Why not just search through your email for "waiver" or "waived" or something? Seems like it would give you a pretty quick list a lot more quickly.
