I belong to MANY email listservers, probably like all of us. All of them, I am on digest. The CONTENT from all of you contributors is superior, more mature, and more directly helpful than all the other lists. I think it has something to do with the conservative, structured mind set of us Dbase programmers. (Or at least when we discuss database issues ;-) However, I think that the mailing list world has moved beyond what we use, at least for those of us who receive digest mode. The google groups group all the same topics in one block, and uses intra-document html links to get to those blocks. By using the 'subjects contents' table at the top of the digest email, and the back button, it is VERY easy to investigate only the subjects one is intersted in, without having to scan through the whole digest. There are other, better-than-pgsql-mail-program convenience attributes of the google groups email system.
I read it through the gmane newsreader, so I get threaded display and can easily "scan" the subjects. Regards Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
