Hi George, No question is dumb, George. Its a and/or situation. If you want to receive the list mail as it occurs you can and/or get it in digest form. I can set the list to go either way for you. So let me know which you prefer. But I can't control when the digest is sent. That is an automatic setting done by the list server. I have my mail program set to accept attachments because I get mail for the Archives as attachments. Joe On Fri, 18 Jun 2004 22:26:36 -0500, George L.
