[CH] How it works

It is quite obvious that many posters to this list
don't have a clue how the digest works. Praising the posting of
many lines of HTML is a good indicator of this. So please
excuse my attempt to educate and possible improve the
readability of the digest.
Take a few moments to read this and add some consideration for
those that receive the digest form of the list. Try to remember
it.
The digest is the days combination of all messages sent as one
e-mail message. This means that a digest reader can't simply
delete a message. Has no option to filter out messages from
posters that he does not wish to read. Has no option but to
read the "source" code posted by HTML and MIME enhanced mailers.
Must wade through the many lines of un-needed quoted text that
those with crippled keyboards insist on retaining. Post double
line spaced messages so that their message is twice as long as it
should be.
Enough said, please try to remember that there is a digest form
and how it works.
Happiness is: Locoto plants with fruit.
