Subject: RE: Topics in general with Digest (including OT but technical points)
> KHR: [...] why do you post it ? Whilst I don't have any problem with a few OT posts (and don't want to extend the argument), it is worth remembering for any post that peeps reading the digest (perhaps because of Allan G's points) don't get a choice to delete... Continuing from AGs points re bandwidth/filtering, those of us who get the digest in text form will struggle to read html text (or we can if we spend 15 minutes stripping out the tags!). Sometimes an Outlook Express (and Outlook IIRC) client will send both text and html and we get double-sized emails (it might be worth checking). It also gets awkward when automatically responding with huge quotes or whole messages or threads, but that's been mentioned in the last few weeks. On my set-up I don't see the html appearing in the digest - let me know if it is! ;-) . Thanks peeps, and Have Fun,
