Please don't! Getting emails piping hot, right off their creators'
keyboards, is one of the things I like best about having HP4GU on Egroups.
People who want digests can order them.

And that's the other reason I don't like digests: you always get a fair
number of posts with names like RE: RE: RE: [BlahBlah] Daily Digest Number
7649204 Part 37. The worst of it is that I've accidentally sent quite a few
of them ...
What I don't understand: Egroups offered me the option to turn off HTML
capabilities--but I'm still getting HTML messages. Does that only mean that
I can't *send* HTML??
Tschusslis!
