Re: Digest mode subject lines

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Posts made with a digest subject line are very frustrating for me.   I 
try to read all messages on a topic before replying, and this makes it 
very hard.

I also try to weed out subjects that I'm not interested in by the 
subject line, which obviously doesn't work with the subject line is 
"midrange digest".

That's without even beginning a discussion about the damage it does to 
the mailing list archives.

I agree with you that I don't want this list to be the sort of place 
that scares away new posters. I'd much rather see digest mode removed, 
since it is (IMHO) harmful to the ease-of-use of these mailing lists, 
and provides very little benefit.
