Re: replying to digest a pain

["Jeffrey Lloyd" <jslz3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually Ken, 
I am very happy with the hotmail service I work in the Networking feild 
sometimes getting shipped around the country, Without a laptop with my 
personal configuration I have to hop from PC to PC on diffrent 
platforms. UNIX/Linux, Dos/windows, win95/98, NT, and MAC  As long as 
their is a pc handy with web access I'm set. I can save my mails in 
folders attach files and cut and paste.  Granted it is *slightly* more 
difficult.  I do agree to get the "Digest" in real time  it lessens the 
confusion, However Some of us do not have the luxury of setting up a 
popmail account and sticking with it..  Granted I can pine into my 
server BUT...  that's easier? nahhh  hotmail works very well.. and
even with the 200+ emails daily I recieve it performs flawlessly.. and I 
can insert my popmail settings and recieve the mail from my home server 
on the same interface..  Not bad in my eyes..

Please before you Bash somthing slow down
as for jun.. To have the digest sent to you send a mail to 
majordomo@domain.elided with the text in the body 
subscribe bmw 
then send another with 
unsuscribe bmw-digest 

I think this is right this will stop digest forms from being sent and 
just replicate every email to your address..  If you choose not to do 
this just highlight the section of the digest you are replying to copy 
it start a new email and paste it that works well also..
