Andrew,
While I'm all for more selective quoting, in this age when virtually
all email clients have mail rules or smart mailboxes or mailing list
managers or thread managers, I have no idea why you or anyone else
subscribes to the digest. What possible advantage does the digest
have over creating a "Finale list" folder and a rule that
automatically sends all Finale list email there?
I can think of lots of serious disadvantages to the digest -- you get
all the list messages much later, meaning when you're asking for help
you don't see the responses right away; it's harder to reply to
individual messages; you can't sort the list by thread; it's harder
to skip or delete messages you're not interested in, etc.
But I can't think of a single advantage -- except that it might take
you thirty seconds to set up a folder and a sorting rule.

Colleagues,
May put forward a kind reminder for people to quote other emails
more selectively? My digest, especially, ends up two or three times
as long as it needs to be for all of the unnecessary quoting that
goes on.
