Greetings all,
While I find the discussions on this list very interesting, the length
of the messages is unmanageable and may force many of us to unsubscribe.
I subscribe to the digest format and yesterday's message had 10,490
lines and took a long time to download! Today's digest is shorter with
1300 lines but with a lot of junk as well. The major problem is that
people send attachments (e.g. signature files) that get chopped up into
incomprehensible characters that are several pages long. Also the
majority of active list members seem to include previous long strings of
messages in their reply. One way of dealing with this problem is to
instruct your mail program to send plain text messages to this list and
not include previous messages in the reply. I would appreciate
suggestions from the list manager as well.
Thanks for your understanding
