Digest questions / new K4 list or group

[Steven G. Steltzer]

Am I missing something in the settings? I get the digest emails. However they are usually very long because a lot of the posts contain the entire previous digest. Takes forever to scroll through to get to the ones I wan to read. I assume this is because senders hit "reply to all" and do not bother to cut the copy of everything out? Yet I see guys saying they can delete individual messages that don't interest them like you can do with a groups.io list. What am I missing?

Thanks
Steve, WF3T

The digest is a real pain for the very reason you mentioned... many
subscribers, for whatever reason, don't remove all the non-pertinent stuff.
I have seen one post that was 3 digests deep!
To avoid that, you have 2 choices. Either change your delivery to
individual emails, or unsubscribe and go to the site at your leisure.

Well, what's worse than an email with pages of replies, is an email that
simply says: "Thanks, that fixed my problem" with no hint of WHAT the
problem was or, HOW it got fixed".

I'm not sure how I have my email/forum input etc.  set-up, but I like it
just the way it is.
All input shows up as a separate email.
If it's  a subject I don't care about I delete it.
I would not want a separate K4 forum, since I have varying interests is ALL
Elecraft products.

I vote for leaving things exactly the way they are on this, to me anyway,
very useful forum (if that's even the correct word for it).

Steve,

Most email clients include the ability to set filters.  My Thunderbird
filters everything with [Elecraft] in the subject line into my Elecraft
sub-box under my Inbox.  I can then reply to (or delete) any post I
choose to.  My account is set to send individual emails.
In other words, I have my own "digest" of individual emails.

I do the same for groups-io lists that I subscribe to.

73,
