I always get the messages of this list in a digest format. This is bad to handle, esp. if you want to answer a question found in the digest. Does everyone else also get the list as a digest? Is there a way to switch to single messages? If not how do I easily answer messages which the subject correctly set? Or how do I automatically split the digest into the separate messages? For your information: I use Netscape for reading if this helps. -- Ciao ... Heiko Nardmann

I would suggest a real operating system (if you do not already have one and M$ anything does not qualify) and procmail. I use procmail here and cannot even tell that this is a digest list. ......Tom "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, tdiehl@pil.net for you are crunchy and good with ketchup." Unix IS user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
For the benefit of everyone on this list, I did the following to get individual messages. I sent a mail to "listproc@samba.anu.edu.au" with no subject and with"set samba mail ack" in the body.(No quotes) Hope this helps. Regards Anthony.

Use procmail and formail. procmail is a general mail filtering/delivering utility and formail can do many nice stuffs including breaking up a digest. If you are on the Redmond side, things are not that elegant. There is a super great mailer 'Pegasus' there, it has several utility programs (separately down-loadable), one of them splits up digests, but I have _NOT_ used it. Ask around in the Pegasus list. BTW, Pegasus and its utilities are free! -- My Windows unders~1 long filena~1, and yours?
