Sounds like a rather clever system you have going on there, Jim.
I certainly agree that digests become a pretty bad mess, due to the 
replying and quoting issues we've been discussing.
I suppose I've taken a 'well, can't do much about that' attitude, and 
just accept that digests will contain fiendish amounts of repetition.

By the way, does anyone use a MLM which 'threads' in a digest? ie 
sequencing by virtue of subject title. This would make following a 
thread easier but of course still excessively cluttered.
I'm assuming 'digest threading' isn't generally performed by mlm's, or 
maybe just the ones I've used don't do it ... ?

Jim, how do you apply the filters to only the digest? Just curious, as 
I'm assuming you wouldn't have a separate pipe in place to feed just the 
digester processing ... presumably you've hacked your mlm and integrated 
your filters into its digest processing?

thanks,
lee
