[quote]If you are someone who would like to regularly read the list but may only post / reply once a year then for high volume lists such as this the digest can become a much more manageable option.[/quote] @Simon: This right here makes sense; for the most part the conversations are miles above my pay grade, but there are times when as an end user there is something to offer. Personally, as mentioned, other list-serves seem to be able to post emails **in the proper thread** . . . and folks seem to be emailing me, with the subject header included, so it appears folks can email out from the list, but not in?? And then, in the digest email is included the email address as "the place" . . . with no apparent link to the actual list, either in the openSUSE web site, or in the digest . . . I had to search the lowly googly to find this list . . . part way down. So, I have now hopefully modified my behavior as requested, but I still prefer the option for digest, other stuff to do, etc. F
