 And worse than the html is the continual quoting of previous posts.
 Please don't quote the post that you are responding to.

 This is especially annoying when the new text is placed at the end of the
 previous message and you have to scroll down to see it. When you're
 screening a lot of messages that little extra step is a pain in the ass.

Everything, in moderation, is good - also quoting. Otherwise, it can
be hard to keep track of
a dialoge.

However please trim the quoted text to what is necessary. Yes, it
happens 4-5 times a day that
someone replies to the digest, including all the digest in the
reply. Fortunately, such messages
go to me alone, not to the list.....

One does wonder with all the complaints about the digest, why people
subscribe to it.
