It’s been decades since the last time I used this option.. and that was on an actual listserv run on lsoft.com, early 2000s.
These days just subscribed from a gmail because threaded posts, keyboard shortcuts for email actions and what not. Makes it very easy to handle high traffic mailing lists. --srs ________________________________ From: Alex Buie <ab...@cytracom.com> Sent: Saturday, November 9, 2024 8:21:36 AM To: Suresh Ramasubramanian <ops.li...@gmail.com> Cc: j...@joelesler.net <j...@joelesler.net>; nanog@nanog.org <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: etiquette for replying to daily digests Appreciate all the input everyone! It's helpful Suresh - great pointer - it looks like they do. I didn't even notice it as an option. I think this will be the fastest/easiest method for me in webmail-land.

This practice was prevalent until Microsoft Outlook introduced the top post culture. Let’s not go down that rabbit hole. Additionally, editing the subject line to include what you’re responding about can be helpful.

However, there are sometimes messages in the digest I'd like to reply to, and I don't want to be that guy who just replies to the digest and opens an ugly new thread. Curious what workflow/process any of you use to do so, and what the best/netizen-polite way is to end up with a reply that's appropriately threaded. Do I just need to mirror the subject line?
