If you subscribe to the List, you will be sent a copy of everything posted to the List and also (because the Listowner has set up a link) everything posted to the equivalent Board. But if you use the Board, you will not see ordinary messages posted to the List. Gavin Bell

Hi Gavin & et al, Perhaps I am mistaken but I thought it was the other way around ?? I have posted queries on various "Boards" where they remain indefinately. The Board query is, as you have stated, copied to the List with a Link back to the original board and is therefore made a available to all List & Digest subscribers. If a response is posted on the List in reply to the original Board query, it will not appear as Threaded to the query. To respond to a query originally posted on a Board, it can only be accomplished if it is Threaded to that Board Message and will remain there indefinately.
