Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 The issue is that some people receive one email per day. this is called digest mode. Every message is in one email. When people respond and respond and respond, to the same message thread, sometimes long trails of old messages make a single email message (as in the one digest email message sent once a day) a very long, and redundant, message.

Know someone who was? http://victimsheart.blogspot.com moderation request To whomever moderates this list, Every couple of weeks or so I find myself posting a request that people trim old messages from threads which drag long trains of old postings along. After a request is made to trim posts people are kind enough to do so for a number of days but soon new long trains are forming. At present there are 3 or 4 such long trains. The 'blind diets, was introduction' one for example even after a subject line change continues to carry up to 12 additions back to the original post in some versions. 0 Thank you for your time and consideration, Dan XB IC|XC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi Dave and all, well, yours ia good idea. But I just want to throw in here that with some digests, and I don't get this in a digest, there are headings, so you just push h and either read the message or push h again, right through the digest, skipping repeats and unwanted mail. I have one like that Nd I'm assuming there others. it is very easy. But of course much better to not depend on everyone having that feature in the digest or a computer set up to to that. Just a quick mention here. Vicki When you are DOWN to nothing...
