Hi Nivard, I completely agree with you. Being on numerous lists, going "digest" would bring in only one list for each group, but if these are active lists there can be 40/ 50 mails to each digest that still have to be read. Being on a "list" at least they can be picked up and read as and when you choose. Then there is the problem that some people when replying to a digest, reply to the digest as it were not the posting in question, so the whole digest gets re-posted. I can only suggest that people get good anti spam systems or change the ISP to one that has these built in. I am aware that a lot of people don't like AOL but I don't like spam either, For various business and hobby reasons I have 5 AOL addys and get maybe one or two spams per week in total. You pays your money and takes your choice. Mick
