Wasn't meant to be so snide, just noted where the info had been provided,
in my outgoing note, in the digest in which I received it back, and in the
note asking me for the info. So I wondered whether it was less visible
depending on how one received/read the list, as you noted.

I guess I see digests in different format, notes are formatted normally,
showing sender/date/subject. Anyway, agreed that key info is better
repeated...
