Huh? With the procmail digest-splitting recipe in place, they are only seeing one message at a time. The digest recipient downloads a digest, but by the time it gets to their mail spool or inbox, it has already been split into separate messages by procmail. Their mail reader software never sees a digest. There are no messages "above" and "below" the "one they are replying to". They only see one message at a time, thanks to procmail. What is the point of getting digests? Filters put the messages in a folder, so there's no mail organization issue. Since I'm going to read them when I get ready, I don't care if they're downloaded a few at a time or all at once. Tony - -- Anthony E.
