On this list the digest has consistently produced posts containing

threads in it.
The proper way to reply to a post read from the digest is to:
a) hit reply, delete the digest copy quotation that is usually auto-
entered
b) copy into the reply only the relevant material you want to quote
c) replace the subject of the message with "re: <original thread
subject>"
d) add your response
e) send to the list address
It requires more than just hitting the reply button. I get both (two
accounts subscribed) and respond from either, depending upon whether
the post I want to respond to has made it to me individually or not.
I often check the digest to see if other responses have already been
made to a given post.
