Hi, Laurel. When you reply to a digest, if you want the original message included at all, you do need to cut out the rest of the digest. Take care.

Using digest, how could I respond to a specific posting when all the messages are in one e-mail? (These are the postings that show up with "Re:" in the subject line followed by the original subject.) Could I highlight the posting I want to respond to and then send a reply e-mail posting to bksvol-discuss or would this send *all* the postings from my digest list? Should I strip out all the postings I do not want and then send a reply e-mail with only the posting I want left from the original digest e-mail? Is this even possible or do I need to send a new message each time I want to post to bksvol-discuss? I hope this posting is not too confusing... Laurel
