I receive all posts in digest form, usually no more than one per day. I store them all in folders dedicated to specific groups where the content very quickly is available in Spotight. I cannot count the number of times that using Spotlight has let me avoid repeating queries that have already been asked. If I choose, I read the latest traffic of a thread online prior to getting the next night's digest. Once in a while, a posting to a lightly used group arrives in a group digest several days late. To post replies, I usually go online. Replies from the digest require replacing the noreply text in the To line. Generating a new thread in Mail is simple with just a letter or two in the To Line to select the complete group address. But there may be a delay of some hours before it appears in the forum.

You know, something different than what the rest of us do when simply Reply'ing to a thread? Do you think you could stop doing that, and follow the usual protocol for posting to the group, thereby eliminating your double, triple, quadruple etc ... duplicate responses? You seem to be the only one who produces multiple responses ... or am I mistaken? Bill - I read the group on line as well as in a news feed in Thunderbird, John's posts look no different to me. I'd ask (repeat?) that any time one goes off topic, he should change the subject line to reflect the new issue. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Copy and paste of the group address into a new message is much better.

It's possible to combine all the postings in a thread even if small changes, like Aw: added instead of Re:, are made. Many mail clients will do this if asked but they get confused when new postings are made while hijacking a thread and just changing the subject. -- --A flashlight: is a metal tube used to store dead dry cells. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
