Hallo David, Just some friendly, hopefully helpful thoughts about trying to solve your agonies. I do hope that this is not seen as interference.
If you or your emailer, Thunderbird, cannot handle "digest" then why not subscribe to the Silver List "list" delivery version? The very clear, simple and easy to follow instructions are at the Silver List Home Page ; http://www.silverlist.org/ If you insist on getting the digest then you could get Undigestify from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/undigestify/ I did use digest years ago when on dial-up but with adsl it is much more convenient to get individual emails, much easier to answer and to delete or file . I run a small email list and send a copy of each email ( twice per day digest) to a Yahoo Group for those members who want to play on the web by themselves. You could perhaps get yourself webmail or start your own forum for yourself. Your comments about Subject continuity are valid but one has to be a list-hitler to make that happen properly; A frustrating and futile occupation along with 'trim your posts' and 'top posting'. ;-)) People are posting less because there is so much competition from other interest groups on the web. I just recently un-subbed from 5 lists because there was just not enough time in the day to pay attention to all of them.
