Brad,

Thank you for the response. This is a little unfortunate, as several 
hours of searching the web has failed to turn up a valid alternative.

Without the ability to process posts, I can see where the digest thing 
would be a pain, I know the more sophisticated list servers will strip 
out the quoted digest post, and just leave the digest header as the 
subject line.

Sort of leaves me in a lurch for a low cost solution. If Topica didn't 
regularly take hours (sometimes days!) to forward posts, we wouldn't be 
in this mess.

It's funny, reading the other thread that you have been apart of. In my 
search for a mailing list manager, all I can find are bulk email 
addresses, and auto-newsletter spam generators.

Take care,

Michael Luscombe
