VM. Yes. Also Gnus does this the same way. I believe pretty much all of the major Emacs MUAs do it this way.

How do you propose to get that effect though? HTML is not designed to make it easy! > I'd really like to know what you meant by 'view the messages in a > digest in an email folder'... :) Here's my MUA reading a digest in my main mail folder INBOX: http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/outgoing/INBOX.png and here's my MUA reading the messages in the digest: http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/outgoing/AUCTeX.png If the players didn't have numbers on their jerseys, I bet it would take you a minute to figure out Who's on First. > See above.

The point is that in my experience these are minimum requirements for a digest view, and I don't see how you plan to implement that in portable HTML unless you make *really* draconian restrictions on what formats people are allowed to post in. > > I think you should post a bug report (weirdly enough) to the Mailman > > project on Launchpad.net. > > Thanks, I'll do one of those tomorrow (gotta run now)... It looks like somebody has borrowed Guido's time machine and the feature (ie, List-Post in each message in digest) is already implemented. But it's not default yet, so you could ask for that. ;-) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
