It doesn't help searches when a user replies with "Subject: Re: Digest ..." I've seen worse, but not recently: replies that quoted entire digests. Sometimes the offender offers the defense that some MUAs won't allow trimming quotations. Once there was a conventional digest format that supported replies to single articles. I don't know that remains prevalent, nor that MUAs widely support it. I suppose a digest might be structured as a message with multiple "Content-type: message/rfc822" attachments. I don't know that's customary. (I subscribe to no digests.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
