All I'm doing is looking at the digest source view so I could be wrong, but I think there are five parts to each digest. 1 some general information about the list 2 (since Vol 3 Issue 3) a Reply-To line, but unfortunately this is in the body of the digest not the header 3 a list of the topics 4 the messages themselves (as an embedded multipart) 5 some more general information about the list There could be good reasons for the digest having been implemented in this way, but my personal view is it would be better to have 1+n parts to the digest: the first part containing whatever general information is thought appropriate; subsequent parts containing the messages. This would be the equivalent of my typing the general information in the body of the email and attaching each of the messages in turn. My personal view is I don't need too much general information, just what's currently in part 1, maybe including explicit instructions on how to unsubscribe. I've no doubt that work is going on behind the scenes to address points that have been made here and elsewhere, and I wouldn't want this email to be interpreted as negative criticism.

I'm not currently trying to explode digests, so I don't know whether what I suggested above would help with this. -- Keith Anderson The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
