No - just happens that nobody on the test-list did send a message with base64 encoding - has nothing to do with digest vs regular subscription. > If so this one should be base64 encoded as well.

Well - not really bad news either, as I really don't see a single reason for doing a digest-subscription with gmail.for a discussion list (i.e. one where you don't only receive stuff, but also interact with others. >> The message itself is a multipart/digest one, with correctly delimited >> messages and complete headers (also including the mail-archive.com >> one) for each single mail - so "real" mailclients that don't handle >> those properly/cannot even display the messages are buggy as hell and >> don't deserve the name. > > You talk about gmail?? ;o)) No, I mean: When any client has problem displaying the digest-mails, then that client is seriously broken. Any client that displays them as attachment and thus as individual message has a complete email at heand with all headerst to handle it propery. It's a weak spot of gmail that you cannot reply to a single mail, but on the plus side it doesn't have any problem properly displaying the messges with various different encodings (utf-8 and 8bit encoding (the message-list from the maling list system, latin1 and latin9, quoted-printabl from the postings) inline (and I'm pretty sure that it won't have problem wih base64 ones either, just that I could not verify that yet. > [no individual reply with gmail possible] > which isn't very useful at all.. Yes. And even if the user would change the subject, it would still cause a new thread, as no references are kept... (also not when using plain subscription, it's a general "feature" of gmail to start a new thread when you change the subject. The only think I dislike about gmail really. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to test+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/test/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
