> Is this kind of thing a known problem? It's a known non-problem. The list of message subjects is not a table of contents, it's a table of topics. When there are multiple messages in the digest on the same topic you will see a parenthesized number after the topic entry in the table of topics. That number is the number of messages about that topic. N.B. I use "topic" is its generic sense, not in the sense of topic support in LISTSERV. -- Glenn A.
