I admit that this problem is a pain for the digest readers. Sorry that I
didn't think about it right away. The digest does cut down on mail volume
but it makes sorting and editing out posts nearly impossible. That for me
was the reason to put up with loads of mails instead of one solid one a day.
:o)

However on the off chance that you were seriously asking me to provide help
with killfiling Mark in your digest I can only come up with these two
options:

I suggest using a search string. Like 'find' Wilbur0, then select untill the
next 'sender' 'Mark' or some other specific thing that marks the end of
Marks posts or the beginning of a new one and delete the part in between.
I know that MSWord can do this using a macro. So that it's pretty much
automated once you've gone through the moves. The digest file is plain text
therefor paste and copy into Word or another less evil program ;o) shouldn't
be too much of a problem.

The other option I can think of is that you'd read the digest in a text
program or with your mailprogram, then press 'search next' whenever you hit
one of Marks posts. I think F2 for Word or something and in Netscape it's
'CTRL F', 'enter' while searching for 'sender' 'Mark' or some other specific
thing that marks the end of Marks posts or the beginning of a new one and
read on from there. It just all depends on how badly and how thoroughly you
want to edit out Mark's mail from your digest.

I guess if you want it badly enough to get rid of him it is probably worth
the effort of looking into this option until consensus is reached about any
further actions towards Mark and/or Mark stops annoying listmembers. I
dunno, but it's what I'd probably do if I'd have this problem.

Sonja :o)
