This isn't the first time I've heard this complaint, but now it has reached a number where I don't think that it is just misobservation. The past complaints have been questions like "I just saw a response to a message I didn't see in a digest..." type things that were hard to track. This one at least has some objective measure. This is on a small list with only a couple of hundred subscribers, but with a moderate amount of traffic. David W. James SCAGC-L ListOwner
