I've just had a look at the digest options and one possible option is to send a Mime format digest rather than plain text. I'm not sure what that would mean in practice but from experience on other lists it may mean users see individual messages that they can reply to. This would potentially avoid the long multi-message replies we currently see. I don't know how it would affect threading. I therefore propose to switch on MIME digest mode as a trial at the end of next week if I don't hear a compelling reason not to... Hopefully most modern mail tools can handle MIME digests nowadays. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
