Hi Colin Sorry for replying to this off topic subject but am baffled as to why they even have a digest mode which I personally find completely unworkable It requires much more work to reply to a post and I simply can't see the point IMHO With list mode you can easily sort by thread, sender or address, none of which is possible with digest I am on over 50 lists and if digest was the only option I would not be on any A good way to cut down spam is use a good email client such as gmail Just a thought Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Marj, > When you set up your new email address you might want to consider > re-subscribing to the 'digest' version of the list. > Then once every day you will receive one big email message addressed > from "suffolk-request@rootsweb.com" subdivided into the day's individual > messages. > > Much easier to sift the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. > > Best regards. > Colin Fenn > London
