Terry,
If you delete all but the relevant reference to what you are posting and
change the subject to something relevant, no one will complain.
The problem is that some will just reply to the digest, and the subject
line is "digest" (or something like that), and the item in the digest
that you are trying to reply to is buried in the mass of digest posts
with no identification of what you are replying to. That means that
your reply is not meaningful, and users are apt to just hit the delete
button.
I understand that those steps are more difficult on a smartphone. It is
easy when using an email client like Thunderbird. As I have stated, I
suggest receiving individual emails and sorting them into an Elecraft
folder. That way you can reply to individual posts without the bother
of deleting a lot of information. I do not receive email on a
smartphone, so I don't have any suggestions for handling that.
Oh yes, when replying to an individual email, snip all but the relevant
information, and the stuff added by mailman.qth.com should be deleted as
well.
73,

be the digest form of the list, the entire digest gets reposted.
I read my digest list with my iPhone and when that happens the digest gets
extremely long.
How can I guard against this if I reply to a digest message. I don't want to
inflict the long posts on others.
