In addition, you don't have to get digests. You can receive each message seperatly. This list seems to not get that much activity, so there are only a few messages a day anyway. Just go to http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32, select the edit options button and after you enter your address and password, set Digest Mode to 'off'. After submitting you changes, you will get each message when it is sent to the list. In adition, the subject will be retained, which makes it easier to follow a ceretain dicussion. And seeing you have a gmail account. Gmail will actually list all responces with the same subject as one conversation, which makes it really easy to follow dicussions. -- ---- Waylan Limberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
