It's been years, but -- we used to have tools (metamail?) to split digest mail up into individual messages for perusal. Pretty sure the variant I used to use was called metamutt - a script that ran inside mutt and knew how to present a digest as a temp folder with threading, et cetera, so you could cruise the digest a little more easily. Alas, with webmail and the like, most people's direct access to this kind of technology has disappeared. [You can certainly still use it - say by grabbing your mail over IMAP and then post-processing it - but the barriers to entry are much higher than they used to be - folks are no longer accustomed to setting up a suite of tools to handle mail, and instead want only to use whatever lowest-common-denominator tool is handed to them....] --e On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Taylor-Smith, Ella <E.Taylor-Smith@napier.ac.uk> wrote:
Hi while we're discussing this, it would make it easier to follow threads on digest mode if people who are replying deleted the message(s) they are replying to,
