When you reply to a message, your Mail client adds an In-Reply-To: header in your post even if you change the Subject: and message body. It is the In-Reply-To header that says this is a reply to a message in the existing thread. > I'm told by my list subscriber the following: > > a.

The replacement of quote marks (") and apostrophes (') with question marks (?) is an issue with the mail client that creates the message. The issue is they aren't ascii quotes and apostrophes. The quotes are unicode left and right double quotes and the apostrophes are unicode right single quotes. These characters are not ascii so they are replaced by question marks in an ascii plain text digest. They should render OK in messages in a MIME format digest, but then the pnone client may not do a reasonable job of rendering a MIME format digest. As far as whether the digest formatting is "messed up", I'd need to see an actual digest message to comment further. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
