Can someone please tell me why we now appear to get numerous repeat copies
of the complete digest listings. It is very tedious and time wasting.
Assuming it isn't a deliberate denial of service attack, someone who
doesn't know how to use their email client is trying to reply (or post
by tail-ending) to a non-MIME list digest (or using a mail client with
particularly poor MIME digest handling), without pruning it, and is
failing to realise the havoc they are causing. I suspect it may prove
necessary to bar them from the list.
I'm not sure why we aren't getting the complete digest as I didn't think
that gmail had particularly small size limits.
non-MIME digests should only be used for replies as a last resort and
only if you have a thorough understanding of the internals of internet
email protocols. Whilst you can prune out the other articles, you will
still break threading.
