Spiders, I honestly do not understand what the problem is. I have not changed the configuration of the digests for 5 years. Digests are sent as text, and every mail program will read them the same way.
Here is an excerpt from a digest: >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2006 09:02:30 -0000 From: "Jean Nathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [lace] Strings raffle Having bought Tim Parker's remaining clearance stock of paper strings as >> Jean's address appears quite clearly after "From:". I think that where people are getting confused is when they see a REPLY to the list. In such a case, the *quoted* posting often does not show the address because the person replying to the posting used Outlook with its default settings. So if you see a message that says, "Hi, Joan, My name is Anne and I want to join your raffle," with Joan's message below, Joan's address will not appear. Here's an example of a reply (I have no idea whther Jenny uses Outlook; I just picked an example): >>> Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2007 15:03:23 +0900 From: Jenny Brandis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [lace] Pin making Remember the thread about pin making that followed this ? Here is a website with more information on pin making.

There are two solutions: 1. Read your digests carefully and don't empty your trash quite so often. The original address you want will be there. 2. Go to http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com and search for the raffle thread. The original message should be from the person who set up the raffle. You click on the button that says "Reply to Joan" on the bottom of the page, on the Web site. 3. Write to me for the address. I check the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account once a week (usually Sunday morning) and I check this account several times a day. I will check the archive or my old digests for you (you could do this much faster on your own but I will do the search if you feel you're not able to). For heavens sake, please, digest subscribers, don't get worked up about not being able to find addresses. It's not so. You have to go back to the original message to find the address, because not everyone's email program displays the address of the person they're replying to. This is caused by Outlook's default settings (most people these days use Outlook) and not majordomo; majordomo does not strip the addresses.
