Re: [Elecraft] Digest questions / new K4 list or group
Steve, Most email clients include the ability to set filters. My Thunderbird filters everything with [Elecraft] in the subject line into my Elecraft sub-box under my Inbox. I can then reply to (or delete) any post I choose to. My account is set to send individual emails. In other words, I have my own "digest" of individual emails. I do the same for groups-io lists that I subscribe to. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/8/2020 7:54 AM, Steven G. Steltzer wrote: Am I missing something in the settings? I get the digest emails.

Re: [Elecraft] Digest questions / new K4 list or group
Well, what's worse than an email with pages of replies, is an email that simply says: "Thanks, that fixed my problem" with no hint of WHAT the problem was or, HOW it got fixed". I'm not sure how I have my email/forum input etc. set-up, but I like it just the way it is. All input shows up as a separate email. If it's a subject I don't care about I delete it. I would not want a separate K4 forum, since I have varying interests is ALL Elecraft products. I vote for leaving things exactly the way they are on this, to me anyway, very useful forum (if that's even the correct word for it). 73, Charlie k3iCH -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Jim Clymer Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2020 8:10 AM To: Steven G.

[Elecraft] Digest questions / new K4 list or group
Am I missing something in the settings? I get the digest emails. However they are usually very long because a lot of the posts contain the entire previous digest. Takes forever to scroll through to get to the ones I wan to read. I assume this is because senders hit "reply to all" and do not bother to cut the copy of everything out? Yet I see guys saying they can delete individual messages that don't interest them like you can do with a groups.io list. What am I missing?
