And, now in digest mode, you'll get to appreciate those kind,
considerate souls who simply include *all* of the text to which they're
replying in their BOC-L postings, and add a line or two of "content"
("Me too!"; "Yeah, d00d!", etc.) at the top.  So, trade annoying HTML
for getting to read the same content several times over and over in the
same digest...

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: The punishment in Hell for those people should be to be subscribed
to the Britney Spears/Boy Bands mailing list in digest mode, with the
ability to scroll only one line at a time... >:-)
