Dirk, I asked some while ago for people to tell me how they read digests in their news reader so I could put together a list of helpful hints. Unfortunately I got nowhere. In the email client I use (Eudora) there is an option to receive digests as attachments (as Ted Harding has also outlined in another email. It is rather hidden so I suspect if you can do it in Thunderbird it will be similarly hidden. Try looking for such an option and let me know if you find it. >The way I answer post up to now is: >1) I press the reply button of my email program (Mozilla / >Thunderbird, Windows) >2) I delete all contents of the digest except for the post >(including name and mail address of the posting person) I want to >answer so that the original question will be included (cited) in my answer. >3) I add the email address to the individual sender to "cc:" to the >automatically generated address of the R-help list. >4) I replace the automatically generated subject line (for example >"Re: R-help Digest, Vol 42, Issue 13" by "Re: " followed by a copy >of the original subject line of the post. >5) I write my answer and send the mail to the mailing list. > >It's not that this is tedious - the problem is that the thread is >broken.
