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,
