Thanks again to all. Sorry to stir up what seems to a sore subject, but it's something I seem to do all the time: If there is a problem to be solved I always find it (or more correctly it finds me). :-( That has been very profitable to me as a Test & Evaluation engineer, but obviously a pain to others... Sorry... :-( As to the digest: • As a newbie here I would much prefer a normal Internet group (e.g., Google Groups) over email of any sort, but if email it must be then the digest is better than a constant flurry of incomings. • I think I've now learned to "Reply All" after right-clicking the attachment. However, I also then have to change the sender since Evolution no longer uses the address that received the digest (alavarre @privustech.com) but instead inserts the default user (alava...@gmail.com) so you then get an email telling you the message is in the moderator bit bucket awaiting approval as being sent by a non-member • I think that embedded in-line comments are preferred over top- or bottom-posting. As for the orginal question, "how to read the body of an Evolution password dialog" that started all this, I'll address that separately, hopefuly more clearly. Thanks again.
