Hi, Our list has 260 regular subscribers and 194 digest subscribers so we have more than just a few digest subscribers. I've heard from many of our digest subscribers that they don't want to receive a lot of messages and that is why they choose the digest to bundle their messages instead of getting one at a time. Technological advances wouldn't change this reason for getting a digest. When the entire previous message is included, besides making it difficult to read, more digests are triggered. It is permissible to leave a line or two from the previous message you are responding to if you think it is necessary. Mary Sue
