Posters problem is the very reason I subscribe to the daily digest option. The digest version leads off with an index to subjects of all posts. One of the reasons I rarely read messages is that very few posters bother to edit out repetition. Even the poster who implored everyone to use <snip> did not snip anything. So much for recommending brevity.

John, I included it all so that everyone could SEE why the <snip> is so important! And the responses to this interesting thread, some of which didn't use the <snip>, and end up looking like Steinar's even though the originate on this side of the pond, convince me that Don is right. It's a technical issue having to do with our varying email programs and their settings. But it makes it even more important to, as Stephanie says, cut out all the extraneous stuff in our replies.
