I like getting one post per day. This allows me to quickly scan the day's topics without being interrupted multiple times per day. I just signed up for the list last week (and asked for the digest). If the digest is eliminated, I'll probably - reluctantly - unsubscribe. But I'd like to stay informed.
A lead paragraph describing how to properly reply to a thread might help. - Peter B -----Original Message----- From: Patrick O'Callaghan <p...@usb.ve> To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Evolution] Disable Digests?

Perhaps we should consider toteach users how to use MIMI digest correctly. MIME, not MIMI It doesn't happen toooften, that threads broken by a wrong digest reply are send to thislist. As you could see, I replied to the last 'correct' mail of thebroken thread and quoted the content of the mail, with the broken threadon top of my reply. You didn't quote anything in this message. I don't know why some subscribers prefer digest,but since some users do, we perhaps should accept this. I knew something was tickling the back of my mind. This topic has beenproposed before now (by me!): https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2017-March/msg00023.html A quick re-reading of that thread shows that (as far as I can see) onlyone person spoke up in favour of keeping digests (ignoring severaldigressions that had nothing to do with the subject under discussion).That was over a year ago. I note that at the time I added a Mailmanfilter that in theory would trap digest replies into moderation. Thatnever worked (could be my fault or it could be a bug). I never lookedinto it. I also note that you proposed I turn off digests for a test period tosee what happens, and I said I would wait a while in case anyoneobjected. The "while" turned out to be over a year, with no objectionsfrom anyone, so I'm minded to go ahead. I'll wait a few days to givepeople a second chance to react before I do anything, and hope I don'tforget again :-) poc
