i use digests for high-traffic listservs, but not assembler list. Thunderbird on PC seems to know to reply to the list and but then you have to do a lot of deleting. But the redundancy within digests in email reply chains is time-consuming to scroll through.

Is "by never signing up for a digest" a valid answer to your question? I hate digests because my entire exposure to them is from people who reply to the whole digest, mucking up the Listserve threads. Charles

From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Monday, August 10, 2020 1:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Digest Utility? As an experiment I set my subscription to ASSMBLER-LIST to DIGEST for one day. MacOS Mail.app shows the digest as a single stream of messages with unrendered Quoted-printable. There seems to be no way to reply to a single message, only to the entire digest. Thunderbird does somewhat better I can see individual messages and reply to each. But LISTSERV seems to have omitted the Reply-to: headers -- Replies would go by default to the originator, not to the list. How do others deal with digests? Thanks, gil
