Re: [libreoffice-users] Digest Format

I subscribe to digest versions on lists which generate a fairly large 
number of messages.   It just cuts down on the total volume of messages 
coming ot my inbox.  A lot of the individual messages are not of 
interest to me, and when the digest is 'threaded,' it makes it a lot 
faster to skip to the topics I am interested in.   As it is, messages on 
a variety of topics get interspersed with each other making it very 
tedious to wade through. 

I don't think it's all controlled by the mail client; some of it must be 
controlled by the mail list.  I suspect part of the problem is the way 
messages get posted.   I've seen on other lists that if people reply to 
a message, but change the substance, the messages get threaded "wrong."  
I know the OOO list is much more readable (for me).  That could change 
as it migrates to an Apache list.
