Like a newspaper, > in fact:-( As someone who at present reads this list on digest (as you can probably tell by my cut & paste job in attempt to make it more legible), I use use digest-mode for several lists to control the number of messages each day (I'm subscribed to about thirty mailing lists out of necessity). Digest mode is perfectly acceptable for use when searching for relevant topics but a bore when replying. Mailing list software varies in its capabilities on the response side of things so I always use cut & paste. Believe me, the version of the response I see on the digest is far worse than someone who is subscribed for regular delivery ;-) Cheers, Phil... - -- But masters, remember that I am an ass.
