Digesti:
Don't take Tony's advice, there are sometimes good things in those 
hastily clipped digests.

Some have said before their email program won't allow changing the 
subject. I guess if one is using the Company's machine, they may not 
allow you to choose another more flexible email client. Another 
alternative could be starting a new message, and addressing it and 
typing in the subject. A bit slower; and more work, more list/digest 
friendly; but if there is something important to say, maybe worth the 
effort!

This list is much better than some; the Olympus (camera) List , 
facinating reading, quite often off topic but usually in a photographic 
way!
