Hello, MSMailing a link is easy, converting to a format that looks almost exactly MSlike the current version Geoff sends out is a bit harder (yes, I can MSspawn lynx, which gets most of the way there, but its all coding that MShas to be done). I think the point is emphatically NOT that it has

I think I personally wouldn't be that much informed as now. I'm too lazy surfer. Don't know bout the others though. But once a month I have to check that page then to be informed :P I think the new versions would show up in list letter's headings too. Tervisi, Antti how does this

My vote is to keep a plain text version available. I don't use an html-capable mail reader, so sending a link normally means "I'll save this and read it later when I have time", which often means I'll delete it three weeks later in cleaning out my 'READ' mail file... I like the text version

Sadly thats not the case. XSLT is not well suited to the task of outputting text documents. It has no facilities for doing things like page widths, indenting, bullet points, etc, for plain text. I have tried this, with the source of the digests being in XHTML, but its harder than it first
