[Boatanchors] Digest Mode (was FOR SALE

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

What I hate about Digest Mode is that 95% (you may be in the 5% and if so, 
thank you) of people who use it seem to use a mail manager that copies 
forward everything, and do not delete everything except for the post that they 
are actually replying to.  So I receive the entire Digest and have to figure 
out whether their reply is at the top or most commonly at the bottom, or they 
didn't write anything.  If I can find what they actually wrote, then I may 
have to search the Digest to find the post that they are replying to and see 
what it says to make sense out of what they wrote.  This can take several 
minutes.  Lately, so many just don't seem to say anything that I mostly 
delete replies to Digest Mode.
