(Yes, there are wordier folks out there than we FOers!) I don't seem to have that "ghost post" feeling from the other digests, just this one, and only on occasion. I don't believe AOL truncates the emails, but I've been known to be wrong! My FO digest always looks totally complete. I've never had clipped messages. I have had weirdo things like the text turns to italics about half way through, but that's it. I'm not complaining, though - just making a comment that it 'seems' like I'm missing them occasionally. It's not like I'm incapable of heading to the archives if I am just burning with curiosity to find an original post! ;-)
