Not knowing how exactly the digest works, couldn't it 'process' the e-mail before it sends it? I'm assuming that this 'digest' is a bulk mailing, one giant e-mail that has the days or weeks posts in order received. When I reply to a HTML e-mail I have to change the setting to plain text, it removes all the code. Some software should be able to do that for us in the same way. If not, let's write it up and sell it! We could be bankrolling our annual party! What language do I need to learn? Kevin T.
