Dear all, Could I ask, that in accordance with normal email/usenet etiquette, when replying to messages, judicious use is made of the cut function, in order to avoid exponential growth in message sizes, in long running threads. You dont need to include the *whole* of the previous message, in your reply. People on dialup connections have to pay to d/l messages, and they'd like most of that to be spent on content they haven't read before. Also as a DIGEST recipient, (since my boss moaned about spending too much time reading email), I print out the digest, 4 pages to a sheet so that I can read it offline and sometimes a lot of the paper contains redundant info! Just my ha'penny's worth. Paul
