I don't have sense either, I guess. I am not glued to a computer checking email every 5 minutes, so I prefer the digest version, as it allows me to keep my mail box uncluttered.  I browse a quick list with the subjects, and scroll to the ones that are of interest to me. 



The recent digest I received was the first in a long time that was formatted for easier reading. Every time a saw --Message 1--- or 2, it really was the current message from the digest, not one that had been attached multiple times to replys. I hope the format stays this way. Keep up the good work.

I've never used the Digest. Â On any site. Â I prefer to view one at a time and reply if necessary to the individual. Â To be honest, I've never seen the Digest version. Â I wouldn't know how it's formatted. Â

The digest is a sensible choice for many people.  I get a handful

of mail lists that way, and all of the others are readable.

Today's digest is the best I've seen for a long time, for

readability.



# To be honest, I've n ever seen the Digest version.  =C2-I

# wouldn't know how it's formatted.



Here's how today's digest looks:

Gary's posts are hard to read because he probably uses "quoted

printable" MIME encoding, which doesn't show on the online

version of the list.



Most of this week's posts have been almost impossible to read.

Here's a sample from earlier in the week.

When that's how my information is served up, I don't even try to

decode it.

  I just read an email and respond. Â

I do appreciate that, having been Gang-banned (not my phrase, but I like it).

It's an option on whatever program you use to send email.  I suppose there's

an advantage but I don't know what it is.



This will make some folks nauseous, but I use Outlook Express.  It's simiple

and it works.  "Quoted printable" is their default for plain text.  To turn

it off, I did this:



    Menu:  Tools >> Options

    "Send" tab

    then, ....



There are buttons for HTML Settings and Plain Text Settings in the lower half

of the dialog.  On each of them I selected NONE in the box for "Encode text

using..."



Other email programs have similar setups.
