[600MRG] Digest issues....trimming posts....

[Edward R Cole]

Ken,

I had not noted this on this list but I can relate from subscribing 
to another list for digest.  I never simply "Hit reply" else the 
entire digest listing is reflected back with my reply.  In simple 
words don't do it.  On that other list I have the address saved in my 
address book so select it and hit "To", then copy/paste the subject 
line any text that I want to be shown from the originator.  Obviously 
this is a lot more involved than simply pressing Reply or Reply All.

But very important on active lists where there may be 16 or more 
postings in one digest posting.

I am not a digest subscriber for 600MRG.
