Glad to help. I'm thinking it should be dirt simple for the web site maintainer to add a hyperlink right on the message web page, perhaps under the "Raw text" link, which would say something like "Request this message". It would simply be a mailto: link with the correct message number added. I'm thinking this could make life much easier for digest readers, like myself. In the example above, the link would be: <a href="mailto:cygwin-get.191...@cygwin.com";>Request this message</a> The only trick would be inserting the proper message number. --Ken Nellis
