Re: Daily Digest problems: can anyone help me out?

[andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk>]

hi Rick,
I expect that's down to the problem of people 
posting to the list in HTML format.
All we can do is ask people not to do that,
...except that HTML tends to be the default,
and people usually won't know it's happenning.

I would try from your email software menus
View>>Body>>As plain text (or similar)
that might help...I dunnow


There's a number of ways to solve your problem
and also improve your LD experience,
but only if you're prepared to sign off the digest
and sign on for regular mails, and then set up a couple
of simple filters.
(or does gmail offer a "sign onto maillist" wizard? Mark?Per?)
The digest just can't deal with HTML, because when
the script to make it happen was written HTML
wasn't used in emails. It's old tech.
