Jim - I agree with you 100%. Every email in the new digest version now has up to 8 lines of email header that is mostly irrelevent since it's in the body, not the header. The previous digest format included just Date: From: Subject: for each included email. It's not so much the increased size in bytes, but the screen space and paper space if I print it out that concerns me. Also, after 3 weeks of the new format, I'm still not comfortable reading it. I can't explain why, but I don't like having emails pre-sorted by thread. Anyone here prefer the new digest format? If I had a choice I would willingly go back to the old format.

This is, after all, a Perl list.. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.webshowcase.net/johnneale
