Oh Alan, <br><br>Just think how much you're SAVING by not having broadband!! Digests cost a pittance by comparison!<br><br>Marshall, <br>I found that gmail is a wonderful alternative to the digests. It organizes message threads and it's LOTS easier to read responses than trying to scan past the "attached originals" (which, in your case...) <br><br>For a while I just went to the archives and monitored them sorted by date, but that can be a pain, too. Gmail is the way to go, and no, I don't have stock in google and I don't know anyone who works there, and I don't think that google is the Utopian solution to everything for everyone! <br><br>Paul<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/6/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">alan forsyth</b> <<a href="mailto:alan@forsythalan.wanadoo.co.uk">alan@forsythalan.wanadoo.co.uk</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">Marshall, Marshall, Marshall,</font></strong></div> <div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></strong> </div> <div><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">You've just done it again, succeeding where no man has succeeded before; including 3 whole digests of Pianotech as attachments to your replies!
