Hi, I don't understand your complaint (maybe because I haven't used digest mode before, and don't know how it works exactly). If I send 5 separate replies instead of 1, doesn't it use up more bandwidth? ie, extra mail envelopes, headers, etc. I did make an effort to trim unrelated lines (not everyone on this thread has done that). Or are you saying I should make my posts as short as possible, even if I feel that a longer post is required to reduce ambiguity & follow-up mails explaining what I really meant. At least with 1 mail you can delete/ignore it easier than 5 separate ones. Please explain in more detail why 1 longer mail is worse, or provide a link where I can read more.
