Do you prefer gettings ProFoxTech emails individually or in digest mode? I've been using digest mode but I'm considering switching.
Thoughts?
I think Digest Mode is an artifact of the past, when slow computers and slower dial-up speeds made it slow to download, parse and store separate messages. Also, modern email clients make it easier for you to filter and organize mailing list messages into separate folders, essentially creating a digest on your end. So, I don't see an upside to Digest Mode. And replying to messages is a mess, as Kurt said.
What Ted stated. Which includes what Kurt stated.

Holy Crap - I almost just fainted - since both Ted AND Gene agreed with me!
Well - HELL - at least I was First to the Punch line - and being FIRST is ALL that Matters!!!
:-)
Oh - and - Thanks Gene! And thanks Ted!!!!
Yeah - Exactly - Digest Mode - Messy and Stupid. So - Paul - that's what you can tell your friend. But, preface it by - I Mean No Offense! :-)
Now we can all move on with the rest of our lives...
And FoxPro Still Rocks!!!
-K-
P.S. Some of the Developers at my job bust on me about FoxPro - and one guy did it again today - when he saw me in VFP!!! And - believe me - I bust back with the same comment from above!!!
