Excellent point Charles. So then, here's a quick question from a digest reader:
When responding to a thread within a digest mailing, I first block/hi-light only the particular post (in this case, it was Message 9), then I hit the reply button. I need to copy and paste a corrected Subject line, so it doesn't just say something like "Re: Classicrendezvous Digest, Vol 15, Issue 77", (as it did before I corrected it here). From what I can detect, this copies over only the relevant portion of the digest email into the body of my response mail. Since I never see the extra fluff with my posts to the list, my assumption has been that it works fine, with the remainder of the original text being omitted. Is this true, or am I also jamming you guys up, and just not seeing it here?
Thanks, cause I definitely hate it when I see it, so I don't want to do it if I can avoid it ... get it?
Ciao,
