Please note that the SUBJECT LINE of your message should reflect the content of your post. When something in a digest catches your eye, quote only the specific message to which you are replying, removing the rest of the digest from your reply. As you are aware, all posts to the mailing list are archived, to respond to a message or digest and leave all the previous messages in your reply is simply filling up the archives with duplicate messages. You also need to change the subject line to that of the message to which you are directly replying to. If your message is a new one entirely, change the subject line to reflect your information. Umpteen messages in the archives quoting a Digest No. will help no one when searching an ancestor. Laurie Lovelace Gibson List Admin
