[Elecraft] reply to digest

[Raymond Sills]

That's exactly what have been doing for years.  But a big monkey wrench was forced into the procedure, when Verizon decided to stop providing it's customers with email service (via their email servers).  Fortunately, (I guess), they worked out a deal with AOL, to pass the email domain name (verizon.net) over to AOL, which has enabled those of us with verizon addresses to simply "keep" them.. making it much easier than trying to use a new email service and having to advise all your email contacts as to the new address.


And, I've been pleasantly surprised with AOL's web-based client features.  Essentially, their web client is able to emulate all the filtering that I had with my dedicated email app on my Mac.  So, for now.. it's been rather painless.  And AOL's web client even works with older OSs on my machines.  I guess they coded it so that it will run on any generic browser.


Granted, the cost of this is having some advertising pop up on the side of my monitor screen, but it does not interfere with the operation of reading and sending email.  And, after you send an email, a screen comes up with an ad... (which is how AOL pays for everything).  So, I'm OK with that.

There is a solution to the digest problem.  Download individual posts!
Then in your email client, create an "Elecraft" folder - AND set a 
filter to move all emails with [Elecraft] in the subject line to that 
Elecraft folder.
Presto - your own "digest" which allows you to respond to individual posts.
