Yahoo Groups list digests are threaded -- posts are grouped by subject line. Surely LISTSERV could do the same; I'll suggest it to L-Soft (and hope it's not already there as an option I've missed). At least LISTSERV includes digests' Table of Contents; that's more than is done by whatever software runs the VSE list!

Like this one, which is that way because I get the list digested. Not = much choice then. The irony is that 99.44% of folks don't use, have never used, and have = never heard of a threaded newsreader, and don't know how it would do = such a thing other than via the Subject: (which I think is how GMail = does it? Not sure, haven't tinkered), so they don't even understand this = discussion. (Hint: It's another header, one your mail client doesn't = show you.) -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc.
