Hi Jon,

I don't know what mail program you use, but in my experience both Gmail does an amazing job of grouping a thread together. Outlook is ok at it (what it calls conversations). It's possible that other mail programs have similar features. I'd have a hard time to not having this sort of functionality these days.

If you don't know what I mean...
For this thread, I have one entry under Outlook for "Digest mode subject lines" which contains the original email and all responses (including the ones I've sent).

Subject: Digest mode subject lines

Guys - most of us who use digest mode have made the mistake of failing to change the subject line etc. from time to time. Do we really need to go all ape-shit over it?

I try my best to remember - but sometimes in trying to respond quickly I forget.

Does anybody read all of the pre-amble every time they get a digest? I doubt it - it kinda defeats the point. So despite what some might think, the fact that the correct protocol is spelled out in every single digest message really does absolutely nothing to help me remember. Publicly berating me isn't likely to help either - a gentle personal reminder might be more appropriate.

Just my opinion - but the last thing I want is for this to become one of those dreadful internet forums where no newbie ever dare pose a question for fear of annoying the gods of protocol.
