[OSList] help with the formatting of the OSLIST when it arrives in my Mach Mail programme

[Harold Shinsato]

Hi Romy, Anne,

I don't use, nor do I recommend the "Digest" format. You can change that 
if you scroll to the bottom of every email from the OSList and manage 
your subscription. You might need to reset your password if you have 
forgotten it.

I know it means less email traffic in your inbox if you receive the 
"Digest" format, but it makes it really hard for the rest of us to know 
when you reply what email you are replying to. And the digest format 
will not be in the nice format like you want. I don't have the capacity 
to write another group email program to fix that.

Threads are a feature of your email reading program. I can turn on 
threads for my Thunderbird. By default the GMail app lists things by 
conversations, as do many others. But GMail doesn't do that if you use 
the GNU MailMan Digest feature - which jams a whole bunch of OSList 
emails into a single email. And you can't change how MailMan does the 
jamming.

Hope that makes sense. And my profuse apologies for not being an active 
moderator or manager of the OSList, and that I don't reply quickly to 
requests. Sometimes I don't even see them. Many many apologies! There is 
a big chunk of work on my plate for the OSList to upgrade us to the 
latest version which should solve several problems, though I don't think 
it will solve the "Digest" problem. I'm hoping all of us can self-manage 
most of the other needs.
