It's not hard to reply to a digest - it's just requires some thought and a little editing. It's certainly no excuse to clutter the list with useless subject and irrelevant content. (not a lecture to you Camaleón) In Iceweasel:- Select the entire post being replied to Click on reply to list Copy the post title into the subject line of the reply If the it's not already prefaced with "Re: " make it so Edit the date, posters email and the formatting information. It's hard to follow lazy replies to digest posts. If the person wishing to post finds that "too hard" they've no right to expect others to carry the weight. I did use a script and Tonequilla to automatically re-edit replies to digest posts (another list) - but the complexities of dealing with bastardised subject lines by people forking threads exceeded the ten minutes I'm prepared to spend on a script.
