Besides which I may know, but many others don't, just as they don't know about hitting reply and renaming existing messages as the Braunston Bridges post showed. I think that you are lucky that the digest option is not more widely used by those that post otherwise it would be chaos. Having said that its only a mailing list and not really something that one should get hot under the collar about. The topics are not life changing and serve very little towards furthering the common good of mankind, so does it really matter in the great scheme of life if a few postings are unthreaded? No I thought not.
