I get the digest version of this list (all messages as attachments in one
message), and I want to know if anyone else find it a bit annoying that a
string of hyphens is used to separate messages? No, there's nothing wrong
with that in itself, but within messages, people replying to others will
have a similar string in their "Original Message" section.
For example:
// begin example:
- -----Original Message-----
From: Lynch, Jason JD
Sent: Thursday, 10 February 2000 9:56
To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Subject: RE: MD: DIY Battery Box?
I agree!
- -----Original Message-----
From: Lynch, Jason JD
Sent: Thursday, 10 February 2000 9:56
To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Subject: RE: MD: DIY Battery Box?
>Do you agree?
// end example.
Do you see what I'm trying to say here? The original post looks like a
new post, until you scrutinize it some. In the digest, all messages are
running together, and I just think that perhaps it would be functionally
better to divide each MDL message with equal signs, so such confusion
wouldn't occur, and so that reading speed is increaed.
And you know what else? ("What?") Some people regularly do not snip
enough of the original message their quoting and have the following
footer:
// being example.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

"unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
// end example.
. . . actually in the body of their message. I keep thinking it's the end
of the digest! Everybody please snip heartily.
And since I'm not a roll, those long signatures are really annoying.
(Quick personal gripe.)
I thank you for listening. Just looking out for a better MD environment.
