How to respond to mailing list
Hello, I'm sorry to have to ask this, but I've googled all around and can't figure it out. My email is set up to receive periodic digests of the mailing list. If I want to respond to an email thread, how would I do that? Thanks, Kirk

With difficulty. I used to manually edit replies, but people here got annoyed because I broke their threading email viewer. You can turn on MIME digests, this attaches the originals as MIME attachments. Some email clients let you reply to those, and then everything works. Most email clients don't though, in which case you're back onto not using digest. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
I also had this problem. I was using the google groups interface. But I seemed that it stopped posting my emails. I didn't realize this for several months. (The fact that I wasn't getting any responses to my posts triggered no red flags as this is normal for me). Somewhere in some servers somewhere there are long intricate boost postings that will never see the light of day until some future cyber archeologists happen upon them and publish them as lost works of genius. Now I use Nabble. The reading interface is pretty good. The Reply interface is a little clunky but it does the job. Good luck with this.

In my case, I decided to use Thunderbird in conjunction with gmane as NNTP server, which has worked out quite well.
