It is a matter of personal preference. For me I prefer the one long digest rather than many emails. Obviously others prefer all the single emails.

Just curious. I quite agree. With 40 messages properly threaded it's easy just to ignore topics that you're not interested in. With digests you have to plough through everything, and then of course you have the problem of how to post a reply. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.

You can't talk for everyone. It depends on several things: for example personal taste and the application that you use. For me it is more easy to look at the digest summary and see if there is something that is interesting. If there is something interesting, I'm going to take a further look at the message. Greets, m
