As a Digest-Dweller I can confirm that it is mandatory to change the subject line of a reply, otherwise the subject line stays as 'pentax- discuss-d Digest V04 #303' (for example). Any Digest Dweller who doesn't change the subject line deserves what they get, which will be ignored. You are right to delete these unchanged subject lines. It happens to most D-Ders rarely and usually accidentally. I will happily change the subject line half-way through a thread to correct it, as should anyone replying to it. I agree with Frank, and I'm not afraid :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
