Hi David, Yes, I've seen some spontaneous blank subject lines. It's happened to me. I have no explanation for it, except that it may be a bug somewhere in the list server or mail system.
The most obvious way to reply from a digest is to cut and paste the subject and body text into a new message, then address it to the list -- Unless, that is, you're using a more sophisticated mail program that presents the digests to you as if they were separate messages. I know Pegasus does that. I think some others like Eudora do as well. Microsoft Outlook Express does a plain lousy job with the MIME formatted digests. There's no good way to use that program with them. I don't know what to tell you about Mozilla on the Mac. As for the formatting, yes it would be nice to be able to "quote" the text with the ">" symbol, as in a standard reply... It could be a bit of work, but couldn't you just hit reply, let it quote the whole darn digest, then delete everything but the parts of the one post you're replying to? Then cut and paste the subject and the address, and you're ready to send? Let me know if it helps. Good luck! <grin> Be well, Mike D. > Hello Mike D > > Why do posts appear without Subject headers sometimes? (As per my > previous post).
