(reluctantly joins debate .....);  I actually enjoyed receiving things
in digest format - I did an EXTRACT/TT: on each digest and read it in
full, without MAILs pagination.  However, when I subsequently wanted
to file parts of it, or reply to parts of it, or delete parts of it,
life became just too difficult.  Therefore, on balance,

	NOT digest format, please.

P.S. re: message duplication - there were even duplicates of a message
_within_ a digest (on more than one occasion), so I don't accept the
existence of duplicate non-digest format messages as a reason for
moving to digests.  ** Phil.
