Indigestible Digest Problems: -=- please take a minute to edit out AND RE: Digest Number 143

[Guest guest]

Can I just say the Digest form of email was intended for fairly simple email

systems, to prevent swamping in the Inbox. Nowadays it is easy to set up

sub-Inboxes - e.g call it 'TCM' - and then redirect all mail from TCM lists

there.

 

In this way you will not need to use the Digest. You will be able to access

individual emails & your reply will automatically carry the relevant Subject

line of the thread you are addressing. Simply " Digest Number ### " is rather

a put off to reading the contents..

 

By having a sub-Inbox and by going back to individual emails, we will all be

spared the indigestibility of the Digest.

RE: Digest Number 143

 

 

Hi all,

 

When you reply to a message on the list, please take a minute to edit out

the part of the original message that doesn't apply.

 

In the last digest (#143), there were FOUR people who receive their

messages

in digest form who sent a reply and whose reply included the entire

content

of the digest they received.

 

For everyone who receives their messages in digest form, this means that

there were four entire digests embedded in the latest digest, plus all of

the other messages. Everyone else just received four extra long messages.

Either way, this gets a little ridiculous...

 

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
