FYI, Let met tell you that I couldn't agree less with your third point. I'm on
several mailing lists which I (and numerous others) receive in digest form, and
neither are they difficult to reply to, nor have I ever (in the last couple of
years) seen anyone quote an entire digest to a list. (Maybe I didn't look too
well ;-)
It's just a matter of using the right mail readers ...
Thanks for all the effort though.
Carl.
