Sorry, but you CAN reply to individual posts within a digest. The way that works in every mail client but is rather tedious: 1. Click Reply and make sure your mail client quotes the original note. You get a reply including the entire digest, with a subject line something like "re css-d digest 2007-06-30". 2. Scroll down to the note within the digest that you want to reply to. 3. Delete everything before and after the note except its separate subject line and such info. 4. Copy and paste the original subject line to replace the digest subject line. 5. Type your reply. 6. Verify that the address is going to where you want it to go. 7. Send. Used to do that. Since most mail clients don't really support digests well, I switched all of my lists to individual messages. Best way to handle mail digests is to use Pegasus Mail for Windows, and set your digest to the MIME-digest format. Then, when you open the digest in Pegasus, you get a window listing headers for each individual note within the digest. Doubleclicking an item in that list opens just that note, to which you can reply as normal without any copy/paste or address change gyrations. I consider this one of Pegasus' best features ... -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
